 So when it comes to coding, something like this, there is a lot of information behind the scenes. As you get better, you will learn many different formats but we will just work with this basic format which I think is foundational to coding. I will cover: Background, Border, Margin, Padding, and Color.

Now, when you do coding, the basic format is Div. I'm not sure what it stands for but it is crucial you open and close coded sections with this or else the coding will not work.

Now we will start with borders. Borders are colored borders that go around the content you want to code.

To add an border follow this format: Put text here if you want. Like just type hi or something so something accupies the field of code or it wont show up entirely.

Now that you read through that, notice the  at the end. This div will close the field of code so that all the content you want in the code goes in the code. In otherwords, it basically tells the computer to put this text inside the borders like shown above. If you put the  in the middle of a sentence, it will only put half of the sentence, up to the point you placed the div, inside the field of code.

Now with the Border coding, there are three main parts you include, size, type, and color. The size is the 5px in the code from above. The px stands for pixels. The larger the number, the thicker the border will be.

Two pixels in size

Four pixels in size

Eight pixels in size

Next is type. This is the style of the border. The ones I currently know of are: Solid, Dotted, Dashed, Inset, Outset, Double.

Solid

Dotted

Dashed

Inset

Outset

Double

Now we have color. This tells the computer what color the border will be. It takes either color hexes or names of colors (Like Blue, Red, Green etc.)

Red

Orange

Yellow

green

Blue

Purple

Now another important thing to note is the <> and the "". When opening your code format always place a < at the very beginning like in this:  Same thing with the "" how ever, it goes after the equal sign after style and before the code content. It ends right before the closing >. Notice were the <> and "" are located. The code info is always inside the <> and the "" are the same but start after the equal sign. Failure to place the <> and "" where they belong will result in the code not working.

Why don't you try and write something and put a border around it. Make it however big, fancy, or colorful you want.
