Styling with CSS - Part 1 - Basic Syntax Video Lecture - IT & Software

welcome to the w3schools CSS syntax
tutorial a CSS rule set consists of the
selector and the declaration block the
selector points to the HTML element you
want to style in this case an h1 element
the declaration block contains one or
more declarations separated by
semicolons one declaration here one
declaration here each declaration
includes a property name in this case
color and value blue separated by a
colon
CSS declaration always ends with a
semicolon and declaration groups are
surrounded by curly braces this selector
points to the P element which means all
P elements will be affected by this rule
like this and this this declaration
specifies the text color let's try and
change it and this declaration specifies
the text alignment in this example we
have put one declaration on each line to
make it easier to read but you can also
have the whole rule set on a single line
this works just fine and save space
comments in CSS are used to explain your
code it can help when you look at the
source code at a later date
CSS comment starts with slash asterisks
and ends with asterisks slash comments
are ignored by browsers so you can put
anything you want in them and it will
not be displayed in the output comments
