# [[CSS Pseudo-elements]]
## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
A CSS pseudo-element is a keyword added to a selector that lets you style a specific part of an element — the first line, the first letter, inserted content, list markers, selected text, or a dialog backdrop. [S1]
## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Definition** — A CSS pseudo-element is a keyword that can be added to a selector, to style a specific part of an element. [S1]
- **Double-colon syntax** — pseudo-elements are written with `::` after the selector. [S1]
- **Two families** — text pseudo-elements (`::first-line`, `::first-letter`) and content pseudo-elements (`::before`, `::after`, `::marker`, `::selection`, `::backdrop`). [S1]
## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **Style a part, not the whole** — pseudo-elements address sub-parts of an element (a line, a letter, generated content) rather than the element as a whole. [S1]
- **Syntax pattern** — `selector::pseudo-element-name { CSS properties }`. [S1]
