i'm working through a css course, and for some reason i have .item p for a class. i'm guessing p means that the item class only apply to paragraphs, but im not sure?

.item p will look for a paragraph inside an element that has class "item" Example

<div class="item">
  <p>Some Text</p>
</div>

If you wanted to apply style to a p tag that has specific class it would then be p.yourclass This would match


<p class="yourclass"></p> but not <div class"yourclass"></div>

.item ...

so p.yourclass would be more selective than just .yourclass p? p.yourclass would apply to only p tags with the yourclass class, and .yourclass p would apply to all p tags in said area?

  1. Yeah. That's right. If you would do p.yourclass it would look for a p tag with this class, but if you had a space between p .yourclass it would look for an element with class yourclass inside a paragraph
  2. Also, instead of doing 
    margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
    You can just do 
    margin-inline:auto;
    This is called a "Logical Property" you should take a look at other logical properties. margin-inline is margin on left and right, margin-block is margin on top and bottom but margin-inline and margin-block is also shorthand properties. margin-inline is shorthand for margin-inline-start which is left margin and margin-inline-end which is right margin. but margin-inline would not really make a difference since it puts the same margin on both sides. And let's say you want 10px margin on left and 20px margin on right, you could do margin-inline:10px 20px; instead of using both margin-inline-start and margin-inline-end
