CSS syntax
Properties
A
property
(color, margin, font, etc.) is assigned to a selector in order to manipulate its style. Example:
color: red
;
Selectors
HTML
elements
:
P { text-indent: 3em }
Class selectors:
code.html { color: #191970 }
with
CLASS attributes
:
<CODE CLASS=html> ... </CODE>
ID
selectors (with ID attribute):
#svp94O { text-indent: 3em }
Inheritance
Main rule: the inner selector inherits the surrounding selector's values unless otherwise modified.
Exceptions: the margin-top property is not inherited, etc.
