Solved css variable syntax error in Divi

    Hello,

    Each time I try to declare a variable in Divi custom css panel or page, I get the syntax error "caution this may break your site"

    the syntax (from https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_variables.asp) :

    :root {
    --blue: #1e90ff;
    --white: #ffffff;
    }

    same error with

    body {
    --blue: #1e90ff;
    --white: #ffffff;
    }

    Something seems to be wrong with "--".

    I did some researches and didn't find any relative topics to variables issues in css with Divi.

    I suppose I'm missing something. Any clue ? Thanx in advance.

    You may ignore the error, as it's a valid CSS.

    It's just that the CodeMirror in Wordpress that does the checking is not updated for modern syntax.

    I'm trying to do the same thing, but now in the custom CSS of a page. It shows an error, and the code is deleted. What to do now?
