13 <meta content="When direction is left-to-right and 'left' is set to static position and 'width' and 'right' are 'auto', then the used value of 'width' is given by 'shrink-to-fit' width calculation. If 'width' of an inline-block, non-replaced element in normal flow computes to 'auto', then the used value of 'width' is also given by 'shrink-to-fit' width calculation. If 'width' of an inline-block, non-replaced element in normal flow is given by 'shrink-to-fit' width calculation, then such calculated width can be furthermore constrained, reduced by a max-width declaration. If width of an absolutely positioned, non-replaced element resorts to 'shrink-to-fit' width calculation but its own child uses a constrained length resulting from a max-width declaration, then such constrained length will define the preferred width in 'shrink-to-fit' width calculation." name="assert">
