Two things that strike me often about the web are how many ways there are to go about the same thing and how many considerations go into even the most seemingly simple things.
Working with wrapper elements is definitely on both those lists.

Ahmed Shadeed wrote up the most exhaustive article on wrappers I’ve ever read. He provides a brief overview of them before diving into a bunch of considerations and techniques for working with them, including:

- Using CSS custom properties
If you take the images from the article, it tells a pretty cool story.
