4.2. Percentages

A percentage value is a calculated real number followed by a percentage sign (%). Percentage values are nearly always relative to another value, which can be anything, including the value of another property of the same element, a value inherited from the parent element, or a value of an ancestor element. Any property that accepts percentage values will define any restrictions on the range of allowed percentage values, and will also define the degree to which the percentage is relatively calculated.
