Explanation: These CSS declarations (pseudo-elements) allow you to style elements which actually don’t exist in the HTML code. They should be the subject of a selector (the last item). Examples include :first-line and :first-letter.
Example CSS code:
p:first-letter {
font-size:4em;
font-family:Tahoma;
text-indent: 0px;
line-height:0.8em;
float: left;
padding-right:2px;
}
