## Selection
|
||
|
|
||
|
The ```::selection``` CSS pseudo-element styles the portion of text a user clicks and drags their cursor over (the highlighted text).
|
||
|
|
||
|
General Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```css
|
||
|
::selection
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
```css
|
||
|
/* "Highlighted text will be #F25757 */
|
||
|
::selection {
|
||
|
color: #F25757;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The ```::selection``` CSS pseudo-element is useful for styling user selections to match your website/app theme.
