## Styling Lists
- **`line-height` Property**: This property is used to create space between lines of text. The accepted `line-height` values include the keyword `normal`, numbers, percentages and length units like the `em` unit.
- **`list-style-type` Property**: This property is used to specify the marker for a list item. Acceptable values can include a circle, disc, or decimal.
Here's an example using `list-style-type` to change the bullet style:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
```
```css
ul {
list-style-type: square;
}
```
:::
- **`list-style-position` Property**: This property is used to set the position for the list marker. The only two acceptable values are inside and outside.
Here's an example showing the difference between `inside` and `outside`:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<ul class="inside-list">
<li>Item with inside position</li>
<li>Item with inside position</li>
</ul>
<ul class="outside-list">
<li>Item with outside position</li>
<li>Item with outside position</li>
</ul>
```
```css
.inside-list {
list-style-position: inside;
}
.outside-list {
list-style-position: outside;
}
```
:::
- **`list-style-image` Property**: This property is used to use an image for the list item marker. A common use case is to use the `url` function with a value set to a valid image location.
## Spacing list items using `margin`
@@ -20,23 +71,203 @@ dashedName: review-css-backgrounds-and-borders
- Margins create space outside each `li` element, allowing control over the gap between list items.
- `margin-bottom` is used to create space below each list item. For example, `margin-bottom: 10px;` will create a 10-pixel gap below each list item.
Here's an example using `margin-bottom` to space list items:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<ul class="list">
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
```
```css
.list li {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
```

## Styling Links
- **`pseudo-class`**: This is a keyword added to a selector that allows you to select elements based on a particular state. Common states would include the `:hover`, `:visited` and `:focus` states.
- **`:link pseudo-class`**: This pseudo-class is used to style links that have not been visited by the user.
Here's an example using the `:link` pseudo-class:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<a href="/">Example link</a>
```
```css
a:link {
color: red;
}
```
:::
- **`:visited pseudo-class`**: This pseudo-class is used to style links where a user has already visited.
- **`:hover pseudo-class`**: This pseudo-class is used to style elements where a user is actively hovering over them.
Here's an example using the `:hover` pseudo-class:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<a href="/">Hover over me!</a>
```
```css
a:hover {
color: green;
text-decoration: underline;
}
```
:::
- **`:focus pseudo-class`**: This pseudo-class is used to style an element when it receives focus. Examples would include `input` or `select` elements where the clicks or tabs on the element to focus it.
Here's an example using the `:focus` pseudo-class:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<a href="/">Example link</a>
```
```css
a:focus {
outline: 2px solid orange;
}
```
:::
- **`:active pseudo-class`**: This pseudo-class is used to style an element that was activated by the user. A common example would be when the user clicks on a button.
Here's an example using the `:active` pseudo-class:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<a href="/">Click me!</a>
```
```css
a:active {
color: pink;
}
```

## Working with Backgrounds and Borders
- **`background-size` Property**: This property is used to set the background size for an element. Some common values include `cover` for the background image to cover the entire element and `contain` for the background image to fit within the element.
Here's an example using `background-size: contain`:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<style>
body {
background-image: url("https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
min-height: 100px;
}
</style>
```
:::
- **`background-repeat` Property**: This property is used to determine how background images should be repeated along the horizontal and vertical axes. The default value for `background-repeat` is `repeat` meaning the image will repeat both horizontally and vertically. You can also specify that there should be no repeat by using the `no-repeat` property.
Here's an example using `background-repeat: no-repeat`:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<style>
body {
background-image: url("https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg");
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
min-height: 100px;
}
</style>
```
:::
- **`background-position` Property**: This property is used to specify the position of the background image. It can be set to a specific length, percentage, or keyword values like `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right`, and `center`.
Here's an example using `background-position`:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<style>
body {
background-image: url("https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg");
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
min-height: 100px;
}
</style>
```
:::
- **`background-attachment` Property**: This property is used to specify whether the background image should scroll with the content or remain fixed in place. The main values are `scroll` (default), where the background image scrolls with the content, and `fixed`, where the background image stays in the same position on the screen.
- **`background-image` Property**: This property is used to set the background image of an element. You can set multiple background images at the same time and use either the `url`, `radial-gradient` or `linear-gradient` functions as values.
Here's an example using `background-image`:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<style>
body {
background-image: url("https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg");
min-height: 100px;
}
</style>
```
:::
- **`background` Property**: This is the shorthand property for setting all background properties in one declaration. Here is an example of setting the background image and setting it to not repeat: `background: no-repeat url("example-url-goes-here");`
Here's an example using the `background` shorthand property:
:::interactive_editor
```html
<style>
body {
background: center top no-repeat url("https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg");
min-height: 100px;
}
</style>
```
:::
- **Good Contrast for Background and Foreground Colors**: It is important to ensure that the background and foreground colors have good contrast to make the text readable. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) recommend a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
