1318876 - 'grid-template' documentation needs updates

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: CSS, defect)

Description

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

Under "Syntax": most of the example values here are invalid.  I suspect that
the Grid spec has changed since this was written.  Now you need to specify
either, both row and column values, or row values using the special 
grid-template-areas syntax, then the column values are optional.
There are examples in the spec:
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid/#explicit-grid-shorthand

It looks like the "Values" section has been updated though.  But I think
the Note here is wrong.  The 'grid' shorthand has also changed and takes
slightly different values now.

I've replaced them by valid values now.

The note was taken from the spec. If you think it's wrong, it also needs to be changed there.
For now I've let it there.

I've created bug 1319397 to cover those changes.

OK, I was mistaken about the 'grid' syntax.  I see now that it accepts <‘grid-template’>
so it does indeed take the full set of 'grid-template' values.
