I Shot the Serif


In tutorial 6 you learned how to create CSS selectors in order to specify which elements are affected by your stylesheets. This time, you'll get an introduction to CSS properties. The definition of a property was given in tutorial 5, but this is the first time we'll actually explain what the various properties do.

We'll start off with font properties that are used to change font family, size, weight, style and variant, and move on to text properties that control other things like text positioning and formatting.
