  • <h1> to <h6>: Headings
  • <p>: Paragraphs
  • <img>: Embeds images

🎨 What is CSS?

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) styles your HTML elements. Key concepts include:

  • Selectors: Target HTML elements (e.g., p, .class, #id)
  • Properties: Define styles (e.g., color, font-size)
  • Values: Specify details (e.g., red, 16px)

Example:

body {
  background-color: #f0f0f0;
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
