CSS Compound Rules
CSS compound rules are selectors that target HTML elements based on their relationship within the document's structure. They allow for precise targeting of elements based on their hierarchical placement. For example, using the parent/child selector, you can style specific elements within the body section, like the h2 tag. This feature extends to other HTML tags like emphasis and strong tags, making it useful for selective style application and maintaining a structured design across a website.
HTML Symbols
HTML symbols, also known as character entities or entities, are special codes used to display symbols, characters, and glyphs that may not be easily accessible on the keyboard or have specific meanings in HTML syntax. They enhance the presentation and functionality of web content, such as displaying mathematical symbols, arrows, or special characters, and are crucial for accessibility and internationalization.
Span Tag
The span tag in HTML is an inline element used to style or differentiate specific parts of text within a larger block of content. It doesn't create a new line or section, making it ideal for small sections or inline elements. Developers often use the span tag in conjunction with CSS to target and apply styles to specific words, phrases, or elements within a paragraph or heading.
Stylizing Links
CSS enables designers to style HTML anchor elements to create interactive links. The a selector targets all anchor elements, while pseudo-classes like :visited, :hover, and :active allow styling based on the link's state. This enhances user experience by providing visual feedback and improving accessibility for navigating within web content.
