after playing whack-a-mole with different position: fixed ban evasion strategies briefly last night, we've decided to ban assigning new CSS variables in inline style in your posts, bringing about the Third Age of Posting. CSS variables, while very useful, make the problem of statically determining the value of CSS properties much more difficult, and there are things we would rather spend our time on than writing a CSS static analyzer.
this ban is effective as of 6AM UTC November 14, 2022. existing posts as of this time will continue to work, but new posts will have all their variable assignments suppressed.
This list is incomplete, you can help by expanding it.
