Values

• noneIs a keyword that sets all three longhand properties to none, meaning there is no explicit grid. There are no named grid areas. Rows and columns will be implicitly generated; their size will be determined by the grid-auto-rows and grid-auto-columnsproperties.
• <grid-template-rows> / <grid-template-columns>Sets grid-template-rows and grid-template-columns to the specified values, and sets grid-template-areas to none.
• [ <line-names>? <string> <track-size>? <line-names>? ]+ [ / <explicit-track-list> ]?Sets grid-template-areas to the strings listed, grid-template-rows to the track sizes following each string (filling in auto for any missing sizes), and splicing in the named lines defined before/after each size, and grid-template-columns to the track listing specified after the slash (or none, if not specified).
