Yay! 1. Are MDN docs yet to be written for this? 2. Is there a way to do trim the space horizontally as well using this or is that missing? I tried this on Safari 18.2 but there's still some space at left/right edges: jsbin.com/qivegoziqo/1...

1. they aren't! 2. there isn't… and i've heavily researched this as I also wanted to trim the inline sides. some variable fonts offer a setting that has this information. but it's like 0.07% of the variable fonts we looked at. until then, we'll `margin-inline: -.25ch` or something
