Summary

The @page CSS at-rule is used to modify some CSS properties when printing a document. You can't change all CSS properties with @page. You can only change the margins, orphans, widows, and page breaks of the document. Attempts to change any other CSS properties will be ignored.

The @page at-rule can be accessed via the CSS object model interface CSSPageRule.

Note: The W3C is discussing how to handle viewport-related <length> units, vh, vw, vmin, and vmax. Meanwhile do not use them within a @page at-rule.
