Comment in italics are information about how to use part of the template
Add the non-standard header if the property is not on the standard track. In the summary section, in a note, describe how to achieve its effect using standard Open Web technologies.

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

 
Add the experimental header if the property is describes in a standard that has not reached Candidate Recommendation status, or is marked as 'at risk'.

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.

Summary

Description of the property. It must start by "The xyz CSS property" followed by a one-sentence description. The first paragraph of this introduction will be used by default as the description of the page.

Note: Place holder for any special messages
But don't add several notes. It should be really important, or be part of the description!
