Blogger: CSS Style for Code on Your Blog

A friend asked me how I made the code regions in Blogger entry. I did it utilizing a style tag for CSS in my Blogger template. Here’s what I added:

p.code {
    font-family: Courier New;
    font-size: 8pt;
    border-style: inset;
    border-width: 3px;
    padding: 5px;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    line-height: 100%;
    margin: 10px;
}
  1. p.code: This is a CSS rule that targets HTML <p> elements with the class name “code.” It means that any paragraph with this class will be styled according to the following properties.
  2. font-family: Courier New;: This property sets the font family to “Courier New.” It specifies the font that will be used for the text within the targeted elements.
  3. font-size: 8pt;: This property sets the font size to 8 points. The text within the targeted elements will be displayed at this font size.
  4. border-style: inset;: This property sets the border style to “inset.” It creates a sunken or pressed appearance for the border around the targeted elements.
  5. border-width: 3px;: This property sets the border width to 3 pixels. The border around the elements will be 3 pixels thick.
  6. padding: 5px;: This property adds 5 pixels of padding around the content inside the targeted elements. It provides spacing between the text and the border.
  7. background-color: #FFFFFF;: This property sets the background color to white (#FFFFFF). The content within the targeted elements will have a white background.
  8. line-height: 100%;: This property sets the line height to 100% of the font size. It ensures that the text lines are spaced according to the font size.
  9. margin: 10px;: This property adds a margin of 10 pixels around the entire element. It provides spacing between this element and other elements on the page.

The provided CSS code defines a style for HTML paragraphs with the class “code.” It sets the font, font size, border style, border width, padding, background color, line height, and margin for these paragraphs. This style can be applied to code snippets or preformatted text in a Blogger post to give them a specific appearance.

Here’s how it will look:

p.code {
font-family: Courier New;
font-size: 8pt;
border-style: inset;
border-width: 3px;
padding: 5px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
line-height: 100%;
margin: 10px;
}

Happy Coding!
