Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The ::grammar-error pseudo-element follows a special inheritance model common to all highlight pseudo-elements. For more details on how this inheritance works, see the Highlight pseudo-elements inheritance section.
