Implement calc() and other math functions
Function calc of css not working :(
/* property: calc(expression) */
width: calc(100% - 80px);
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/calc
For those interested, here's the nitty gritty: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-3/#calc-notation
Please mention that calc() is yet to be implemented in the documentation. This might save devs that uses this project hours or even weeks of pain, debugging what might be wrong with their HTML/CSS. Thank you!
Hi!

If you want to avoid "weeks of pain", you can read the logs: warnings are logged each time a property or a value is not supported.

You’re right, that would be very useful. Interested in opening a pull request? That would be a quite simple way to become a contributor!
Hallo!

Turns out that not reading docs properly also causes this. Thanks for reminding me. Time to turn on logging.

Contrary to my comment above, I love reading docs! Though I am not confident that I will be able to write it. I mean I can, just not properly. I guess I'll try???
Anyways, I have just re-read my comment, and I think it might have sounded rude, and I feel bad for it now, sorryy... I tried to make it short 'cause every issue / comment I write sounds childish...

No problem!

Adding a sentence here is sufficient: https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/blob/dc7c2cb18c174b39dfb869fa5820b13cdf4da7b2/docs/api_reference.rst?plain=1#L647
You can copy another line where a property is not supported. And don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be perfect, we can always enhance it afterwards!
Hello!
As you may know, two weeks ago was CourtBouillon 3-year anniversary 🎉.
For this occasion, we prepared a short survey to have your opinion on this year’s features and to know what you’d like to see in the future! Don’t hesitate to give a boost to this feature ✨️
The survey is opened until November 19.
Hi!
Hi!
Do you have any updates for this feature?
Great timing! We’ve just talked about it in #1219.
Current status: we’ve just cleaned the code that takes care of CSS values validation, in order to get a more solid support of var(). When the latest missing features for var() are added (non-shorthand properties with multiple values, functions), we’re ready to look at other functions such as calc(). There’s probably a lot of work left, but at least we now have clean code we can rely on to validate values that include functions.
if there any work-around for calc in width of table? I have a nested table which need to have the width: calc(100% + 0.25mm); can I somehow make the long walk to get it working before the calc is implemented?

I’m afraid there’s no easy workaround for your case. Setting negative left and right margins to -0.25mm may help.
