CSS Syntax

CSS syntax has two main parts - a selector that specifies the HTML element to style and one or more declarations with a property and value to change the style. A declaration ends with a semicolon and groups are surrounded by curly brackets. Comments can be added and begin with /* and end with */ to explain the code without affecting how it displays.

CSS Example
A CSS declaration always ends with a semicolon, and declaration groups are surrounded by curly brackets:

p{ c o l o r : r e d ; t e x t a l i g n : c e n t e r ; }
To make the CSS more readable, you can put one declaration on each line, like this:

Example
p { c o l o r : r e d ; t e x t a l i g n : c e n t e r ; }
