## Introduction to CSS
|
|
|
|
### What is CSS?
|
|
|
|
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) describe how the html on a page should appear.
|
|
|
|
Before CSS, developers would apply styles using attributes or special tags on each node of a page. This made markup repetitive and prone to errors.
|
|
|
|
CSS allows selectors to describe how each piece of matching content should look.
|
|
|
|
```CSS
|
|
body {
|
|
font-size: 15px;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
a {
|
|
color: rebeccapurple;
|
|
text-decoration: underline;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using CSS
|
|
|
|
**External style sheets** let many pages share the same styles.
|
|
|
|
```HTML
|
|
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Internal style sheets** apply CSS to all matching tags on a page.
|
|
|
|
```HTML
|
|
<style>
|
|
h1 {
|
|
font-family: sans-serif;
|
|
margin-bottom: 1.5em;
|
|
}
|
|
</style>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Inline CSS** apply styles to a single tag.
|
|
|
|
```HTML
|
|
<img src="..." style="border: 1px solid red;" />
|
|
```
