CSS – Using Entities
In CSS/HTML there are specific entities that can be placed via code. This is a list of some of the most used CSS entities and their HTML equivalents.
CSS – Text Link Coloring
An HTML text link is displayed in a different color depending on whether it has been visited, is unvisited, is being hovered over, or is currently active.
CSS – Using Pseudo-Classes and Pseudo-Elements
A pseudo-class is used to define a special state of an element, while a pseudo-element is used to style specified parts of an element.
CSS – Styling HTML Lists
In HTML, there are two main types of lists: unordered lists <ul>, which use bullets for each list item and ordered lists <ol>, which use a numbering system.
CSS – ::first-letter Selector
The ::first-letter selector is used to select the first letter of a specified, block-level element such as a paragraph or heading.
CSS – ::first-line Selector
The ::first-line selector is used to select the first line of text of a specified, block-level element such as a paragraph or heading.
CSS – :hover Selector
The :hover selector selects elements when you mouse over them, and is commonly used for links and images with links, but can be used on any element.
CSS – :link Selector
The :link selector is used to select unvisited links, and will not style links you have already visited.
CSS – ::selection Selector
The ::selection selector matches the portion of an element that is selected by a user, and is most often used to set the background color of selected text.
