CSS Syntax

A CSS rule-set (Comprises of style rules that are interpreted by the browser and then applied to the corresponding elements in your document) that consists of 3 part :

  • Selector: A selector is an HTML tag at which a style will be applied. This could be any tag like <h1> or <table> etc.
  • Property: A property is a type of attribute of HTML tag. Put simply, all the HTML attributes are converted into CSS properties. They could be color, border, etc.
  • Value: Values are assigned to properties. For example, the color property can have value either blue or #0000FF, etc.
selector { property : value; }
h1 {
    color : #333333;
}

Comments

Comments are used in CSS to explain a block of code or to make temporary changes during development. The commented code doesn’t execute and is ignored by browsers. comments have no effect on the layout of a document. A CSS comment is placed inside the <style> element, both single and multi-line comments and starts with /* and ends with */.

/* This is a single line comment: */
table {   
    font-size: 16px  /* 1rem = 16px */
}
  
/* This is a multi-line comment: 
This is second line.
This is another line.*/
