CSS serves as the language utilized for styling a webpage.

In CSS, a rule comprises a selector and a block of declarations.

A CSS selector identifies the HTML element(s) targeted for styling.

As a browser parses a style sheet, it formats the HTML document in accordance with the instructions provided within the style sheet.

CSS comments are not rendered in the browser, yet they serve to document your source code.

Colors are designated using predefined color names or values such as RGB, HEX, HSL, RGBA, and HSLA.

An RGB color value denotes the presence of red, green, and blue light sources.

A hexadecimal color is defined using the format #RRGGBB, where the RR represents the red component, GG represents green, and BB represents blue.

HSL represents hue, saturation, and lightness.

CSS background properties are employed to apply background effects to elements.

A background image is a graphic or photo used as the backdrop for content in a digital interface or design layout.

The background-repeat property specifies if and how a background image will be repeated within an element.

The background-attachment property specifies whether a background image is fixed or scrolls with the rest of the page.

CSS border is a style property that defines the appearance of the border around an element.

The border-width property determines the thickness of all four borders.

As observed on the preceding page, there are numerous properties to take into account when handling borders.

Rounded borders are created using the border-radius property to give elements curved corners.

Margins are utilized to generate additional space surrounding elements, extending beyond any specified borders.

Occasionally, two margins merge into one singular margin.

Padding is employed to generate space around the content of an element, within any specified borders.

The CSS height and width properties determine the height and width of an element.

All HTML elements can be conceptualized as boxes.

An outline refers to a line drawn beyond the border of an element.

Outline width defines the thickness of the outline surrounding an element.

"Outline color specifies the color of the outline drawn around an element."

"Outline shorthand provides a concise way to set multiple outline properties in CSS."

CSS Float Examples: Illustrations of how the float property is used to position elements horizontally within a container, often employed for creating multi-column layouts or wrapping text around images.

CSS Layout - display: inline-block allows elements to be displayed as inline-level blocks, meaning they will flow horizontally like inline elements, but also retain their block-like behavior such as being able to set width and height.

CSS Layout - Horizontal & Vertical Align: Aligning elements both horizontally and vertically within a container using CSS properties like justify-content, align-items, and align-self.
