Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) are used to style websites - i.e. to make them look pretty.
Whereas a page without CSS is just displayed as plain content:
One with CSS looks a lot more presentable:
CSS declarations use the tag names (e.g. p), classes and IDs of
the elements on the page in order to style them. IDs are written with a preceding hashtag,
classes are written with a preceding full stop and tag names are written without any preceding characters.
The styles themselves (like height) should all end in semicolons.
Here are some example declarations:
p {
font-size: 3rem;
}
.class_name {
height: 200px;
}
#id_name {
font-family: 'Roboto'
}
A comment in CSS is started with /* and ended with */.
