The padding rule adds space around the content of a widget. You can specify padding with 1, 2 or 4 numbers.
| example | |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `padding: 1;` | A single value sets a padding of 1 around all 4 edges |
| `padding: 1 2;` | Two values sets the padding for the top/bottom and left/right edges |
| `padding: 1 2 3 4;` | Four values sets top, right, bottom, and left padding independently |
Padding may also be set individually by setting `padding-top`, `padding-right`, `padding-bottom`, or `padding-left` to a single value.
## Syntax

padding: <INTEGER>;
padding: <INTEGER> <INTEGER>;
