ever wondered how to make your web copy more engaging and easier for readers? Here's a nifty trick that combines content strategy, marketing wisdom, and some clever coding magic. Introducing the CSS `::before` & `:after` pseudo-elements. These can help you add subtle emphasis or contextual hints to your text without relying on additional images! Here's a quick example using CSS custom properties (variables) for consistency across different elements and screen sizes. ```css :root { –highlight-color : #FFD701; } /* Define the highlight color */ h2::before, h3::after { content:''; display: block ; height: 4px;}/* Create an empty element before H2 and after H3*/ h2::before{ background-image:-linear-gradient(95deg, var (–highlight-color) calc((100% - ${length})/2), transparent calc(${(100%)}),var( – highlight color ) 0); width:${length}; height:4px;} h3::after{ background-image:-linear-gradient(-95deg, var (–highlight-color) calc((100% - ${width})/2), transparent,calc(${(100%)}),var( – highlight color ) 0); width :${width}; height:4px;} ``` In this example, you can adjust the `length`, and `width` variables to control how long or wide your highlights will be. The CSS trick uses a linear gradient that creates an arrow-like shape pointing towards key content elements (H2 & H3). This adds dynamism while making it easier for readers' eyes to follow through text! Now, let the discussions begin and share some of YOUR favorite tricks using pseudo-elements in your own projects.
