Bug 180234 – Implement syntax improvements for media queries from level 4 specification

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: CSS

[Florian Rivoal]

CSS Media Quries Level 4 bring in a bunch of syntactic improvements. They make media queries much more readable and maintainable.

https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-4/#mq-syntax

Here's an example:

Before:

@media (min-width: 20em), not all and (min-height: 40em) {
  @media not all and (pointer: none) {
    …
  }
}

After:

@media ((width >= 20em) or (height < 40em)) and (pointer) {
  …
}

The range syntax has been released in Chrome 104[1], and @container in Safari 16 also supports range syntax.
