CSS - Syntax

Chapter 2 : CSS Syntax The syntax for CSS is different than that of (X)HTML markup. Though it is not too confusing, once you take a look at it. It consists of only 3 parts. selector { property: value } The selector is the (X)HTML element that you want to style.

Each selector can have multiple properties, and each property within that selector can have independent values. The property and value are separated with a colon and contained within curly brackets. Multiple properties are separated by a semi colon. Multiple values within a property are sperated by commas, and if an individual value contains more than one word you surround it with quotation marks.

If you have already read  chapter 11  then you are slightly ahead of the game. selector: pseudo-element  {property: value} As you can see the only difference is that you place the pseudo element after the selector, and divide the 2 with a (:) colon. Or you can assign a class to a pseudo element as follows selector. p :pseudo-element {property: value} Using the above code would style all paragraphs within the declared selector with the pseudo element. The elements: first-line first-letter First Line The first-line pseudo element styles the first line of text in a block level element. p{font-size: small;} p: first-line  {font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;} As you can see in the above example paragraphs are set to be a small font size, but the p:first-line is set to be a medium size and a red color. T...
