HTML<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Using semantic HTML helps search engines and browsers understand your content better. Use elements like <code>&lt;header&gt;<\/code>, <code>&lt;footer&gt;<\/code>, <code>&lt;article&gt;<\/code>, and <code>&lt;section&gt;<\/code> to enhance your markup.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Styling_with_CSS\"><\/span>5.

Here\u2019s a basic example:<\/p>\n<div class=\"contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary\">css<\/div>\n<div class=\"sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]\">\n<div class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary\"><span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><button class=\"flex gap-1 items-center py-1\">Copy code<\/button><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"overflow-y-auto p-4\" dir=\"ltr\"><code class=\"!whitespace-pre hljs language-css\"><span class=\"hljs-selector-tag\">body<\/span> {<br \/>\n    <span class=\"hljs-attribute\">background-color<\/span>: <span class=\"hljs-number\">#f0f0f0<\/span>;<br \/>\n    <span class=\"hljs-attribute\">font-family<\/span>: Arial, sans-serif;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Selectors target HTML elements, and declarations define the styles.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Box_Model\"><\/span>Box Model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Understanding the CSS box model is crucial. Every element can be thought of as a box with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Content<\/strong>: The actual content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Padding<\/strong>: Space between the content and the border.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Border<\/strong>: The border around the padding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Margin<\/strong>: Space outside the border.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Responsive_Design\"><\/span>Responsive Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Use media queries to create a responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes.
