Css Pseudo-elements


A CSS pseudo-element is a keyword added to a selector that lets you style a specific part of the selected element(s). For example, ::first-line can be used to change the font of the first line of a paragraph.

/* The first line of every <p> element. */
p::first-line {
color: blue;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

Syntax


selector::pseudo-element {
property: value;
}

You can use only one pseudo-element in a selector. It must appear after the simple selectors in the statement.

Note: As a rule, double colons (::) should be used instead of a single colon (:). This distinguishes pseudo-classes from pseudo-elements. However, since this distinction was not present in older versions of the W3C spec, most browsers support both syntaxes for the original pseudo-elements.
