Explain float: clear?

Does that have anything to do with display: flow-root?

And white-space is not actually whitespace?

And when does vertical-align work vs not?

^ That is all CSS (and not particularly edgy CSS, except for flow-root).

So....yes, CSS is really that hard. Unless you use the subset of CSS that you have decided to learn + use. Not unlike C++.

Maybe this only proves your point, but there is no float: clear. They're separate properties.

  float: none;
  clear: both;

You're right.

And the fact that yours was the only comment to point this out...
