CSS Grouping Selectors

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

When several elements share identical style definitions, group their selectors with commas into a single rule to minimize code; the universal selector * applies a declaration to every element on the page. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

• Universal selector — * selects all HTML elements on the page. [S1]
• Grouping selector — selects all the HTML elements with the same style definitions. [S1]
• Comma syntax — to group selectors, separate each selector with a comma. [S1]
• Benefit — grouping minimizes code when multiple elements share identical style definitions. [S1]

🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)

• Collapse duplicates — replace several rules with identical declarations by one comma-separated selector list. [S1]
• Whole-page baseline — use * to apply a single declaration block to every element. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

The CSS universal selector (*) selects all HTML elements on the page. [S1]

* {
  text-align: center;
  color: blue;
}

The CSS grouping selector selects all the HTML elements with the same style definitions. [S1]

Look at the following CSS code (the h1, h2, and p elements have the same style definitions): [S1]

h1 {
  text-align: center;
  color: red;
}

h2 {
  text-align: center;
  color: red;
}

p {
  text-align: center;
  color: red;
}

It will be better to group the selectors, to minimize the code. To group selectors, separate each selector with a comma. [S1]

h1, h2, p {
  text-align: center;
  color: red;
}

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

The page's own example groups h1, h2, and p — which originally carried three identical rules — into one comma-separated rule. No external project/commit applications found in the source.

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Grouping selectors that share declarations (language: CSS):

h1, h2, p {
  text-align: center;
  color: red;
}

Universal selector:

* {
  text-align: center;
  color: blue;
}
