Isn’t the obvious idea to print your own editable short link and change as 
necessary once you’ve re-found a good set of data to link to?

Another idea, if the originator so permits, to save a copy that you host 
yourself with a link to the original.

That page is indeed the list of all existing (or under development) CSS 
properties.

Both certainly are. If you follow the link from both you end up at their 
respective modules. ‘align-content’ is currently being implemented (it already 
is used for things like CSS-Flexbox, CSS-Grid).

Hmm, that page, as far as I can tell, mostly lists the properties from CSS2. It 
is a good starting point, but doesn’t cover more recent (important) 
developments such as the aforementioned CSS-Flexbox and CSS-Grid modules, with 
quite important as building boxes for layout. Things are constantly moving and 
4 years is a *long* time in the world of web development.

Not sure what to suggest, I think your first link ( 
https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/#properties) is probably the most stable entry point, 
as it will keep updating to point to the most recent development. An even more 
complete list is this: https://drafts.csswg.org/indexes/ (but note the draft 
status).

As an alternative, there is the excellent documentation maintained by the 
people at mozilla.org: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference

Good luck with your project.

My conjecture (from my reading of that page) would be that they /are/ CSS 
properties.

[css-d] list of all the CSS properties?

[Dean, John]

CSS discuss group,

I'm near the end stages of writing a book on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I'm 
reviewing all the URLs in my book. Unfortunately, the link I used for showing 
all the CSS properties is now quite a bit different than what it was several 
months ago. When I wrote my CSS chapter, I said "The W3C's official CSS 
properties reference is at https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/#properties. That link 
used to take me to a nice table with all the properties with their associated 
default values and their associated inheritability status.

But now, that link takes me to "section 4.4. Property Index" in the "CSS 
Snapshot 2017" page. And that section lists things like align-content and 
box-decoration-break, which I don't think are CSS properties (?). So do you 
know of the best URL for a complete list of CSS properties so I can refer to it 
in my book?

If I use the wiki page at 
https://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/CSS/Properties (which is organized 
quite nicely) instead of the above URL, can I count on that URL persisting for 
a long time (my first edition should run about 4 years)?

Thanks,
john
