In the tab is placed inside a horizontally oriented box, autostretch determines whether the tab stretches vertically to fit the given space. For vertically oriented boxes, determines whether the tab stretches horizontally to fit the given space. Stetching in the opoosite direction is controlled with the flex attribute.

• never: The tab is never stretched and is displayed at the size specified by its width and height attributes or by the CSS width and height properties.

• center: The text will be cropped on both sides.
• none: The text will be not be cropped using an ellipsis. However, the text will simply be cut off if it too large. The side depends on the CSS text alignment.

If true, extra borders are drawn around the element and all its descendants. This can be used to determine orientation and where flexible elements are. If debug mode is enabled for a box, horizontal oriented boxes are displayed with a blue border and vertical boxes are displayed with a red border.
