CSS grid-column-gap Property

Description

The grid-column-gap property determines the distance (gap) between columns in a grid layout.

The CSS Grid Layout module initially defined the property as grid-column-gap, later it is replaced by the column-gap property. However, to support a wider range of browsers that implemented the grid-column-gap property rather than column-gap , you should use the grid-column-gap property.

The grid-column-gap property has been deprecated or is no longer in any CSS working groups.
