max-content - CSS | MDN

max-content
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
The max-content
sizing keyword represents the maximum intrinsic size of an element.
The keyword expands the element to the largest size needed to display its content without any soft wraps.
For text content, this keyword does not wrap the content at all, even if it causes overflow.
The interpolate-size
property and calc-size()
function can be used to enable animations to and from max-content
.
Syntax
