A shorthanded CSS code for horizontally mirroring elements inside style attribute. Use it inside the style="" attribute of HTML elements like other CSS properties.

Named Parameter display= allows changing the CSS display property. It defaults to display: inline-block;

When using this template to create the mirrored effect, editors should consider carefully about the accessibility.

Examples

The mirroring happens at the center of the whole object and its effective dimensions will retain the original values of the object as if unmirrored, so you may adjust the position and padding to avoid unwanted overlapping. Use the display= parameter to further control positioning.
