- Media queries: Different styles can be applied based on screen size, platform, direction, and orientation.
- Math operations: Values can contain mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction.
- REM units: Similar to CSS3 rem units, it allows defining values relative to the root element.
