What is CSS?

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It's a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in HTML or XML. CSS describes how elements should be rendered on screen, on paper, in speech, or on other media.

CSS separates content from presentation. This separation improves content accessibility, provides more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, and reduces complexity and repetition in the structural content.

CSS Syntax

CSS consists of style rules that are interpreted by the browser and then applied to the corresponding elements in your document. A style rule is made of three parts:

Basic CSS Syntax

selector {
    property: value;
    property: value;
}

CSS Code:

h1 {
    color: #2196f3;
    font-size: 2.5rem;
    text-align: center;
}

p {
    line-height: 1.6;
    margin-bottom: 1.5rem;
}

Result:
