I have documented the new CSS calc-size() function (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Webโ€ฆ) and interpolate-size property (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Webโ€ฆ) on MDN. These enable animation to/from and calculations involving intrinsic size values. Thanks to Moved to [email protected] for the review!
