<meta name="assert" content="The 'margin' property with a value of 'auto' correctly sizes the margin. In normal flow, 'margin-top: auto' and 'margin-bottom: auto' for block-level, non-replaced elements are resolved as 0. In normal flow, 'margin-left: auto' and 'margin-right: auto' for block-level, non-replaced elements are resolved according to the constraint equation for the width of containing block: 'margin-left' + 'border-left-width' + 'padding-left' + 'width' + 'padding-right' + 'border-right-width' + 'margin-right' = width of containing block" />
