CSS Syntax

CSS selector

The selector points to the HTML element you want to style.

The declaration block contains one or more declarations separated by semicolons.

Each declaration includes a CSS property name and a value, separated by a colon.

Multiple CSS declarations are separated with semicolons, and declaration blocks are surrounded by curly braces.

Example Explained

  • p is a selector in CSS (it points to the HTML element you want to style: <p>).
  • color is a property, and red is the property value
  • text-align is a property, and center is the property value
