For example,
background
shorthand property values are made up of several background-*
longhand properties. The canonical order of those longhand values is defined as
-
background-image -
background-position -
background-size -
background-repeat -
background-attachment -
background-origin -
background-clip -
background-color
Furthermore, its syntax defines, that if a value for the
background-size
is given, it must
be specified after
the value for the
background-position
, separated by a slash. Other values may appear in any order.
