CSSklasse

CSSklasse, often referred to as a CSS class, is a fundamental concept in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) used for styling HTML elements. A class is essentially a label that can be assigned to one or more HTML elements. This label allows developers to apply a specific set of CSS rules to all elements that share that particular class name. Instead of styling each HTML element individually, classes provide a way to group elements with similar visual characteristics and apply styles efficiently.

To define a CSS class, a period (.) is used as a prefix followed by the class name within a CSS stylesheet. For example, .highlight { color: yellow; } would create a class named "highlight" that sets the text color to yellow. In HTML, this class is then applied to an element using the class attribute: <p class="highlight">This text will be yellow.</p>. Multiple classes can also be assigned to a single HTML element, separated by spaces, enabling more complex styling combinations. This modular approach to styling makes CSS more manageable, reusable, and easier to maintain, especially in large web projects.
