CSS Rule: Selector Declaration Block

This document discusses CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and how they are used to style HTML documents. CSS rules have selectors that specify elements to style and declaration blocks that define attribute-value pairs to apply styles like font properties, color, and more. Styles can be defined internally in <style> tags or externally in separate .css files linked via <link> tags. Element-specific and class-based styles are demonstrated with examples styling body text and elements with the .shaded class. The document also covers CSS color specification methods and CSS box model properties like padding, margin, and border.

<body>
<h1>First Section Heading</h1>
<p>
Here is the first paragraph, containing
text that really doesn't have any use
or meaning; it just prattles on and on,
with no end whatsoever, no point to
make, really no purpose for existence
at all.
</p>
<div class="shaded">
<h1>Another Section Heading</h1>
<p>
Another paragraph.
