font-size: 100%;
line-height: 1.6;
padding-bottom: 2em;
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
padding-top: 0;
/* Recommended */
border-top: 0;
font: 100%/1.6 palatino, georgia, serif;
padding: 0 1em 2em;
```
--------------------------------
### Omit Optional HTML Tags
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Consider omitting optional tags as defined by the HTML5 specification to optimize file size and improve code scannability.
```html
Spending money, spending bytes
Sic.
Saving money, saving bytes
Qed.
```
--------------------------------
### Separate Structure, Presentation, and Behavior

display: block;
height: 100px
}
/* Recommended */
.test {
display: block;
height: 100px;
}
```
--------------------------------
### Avoid Unnecessary Entity References
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Use UTF-8 encoding for files and directly include special characters instead of using HTML entity references, except for characters that have special meaning in HTML syntax.
```html
The currency symbol for the Euro is “&eur;”.
The currency symbol for the Euro is “€”.
```
--------------------------------
### CSS Rule Separation

h3 {
font-weight:bold;
}
/* Recommended */
h3 {
font-weight: bold;
}
```
--------------------------------
### HTML Line-Wrapping for Readability
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html

```html
```
--------------------------------
### Mark Action Items with TODO (HTML/CSS)
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
This snippet shows the recommended way to mark action items or todos within HTML and CSS comments using the `TODO` keyword followed by a colon and the action item description. This ensures clear identification of tasks that need attention.
```html
{# TODO: Revisit centering. #}
Test
```
```html
Apples
Oranges
```
--------------------------------
### CSS Unit and Leading Zero Handling
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Provides guidelines for handling zero values and leading zeros in CSS. Unit specifications can be omitted after zero values unless required for clarity or compatibility. Leading zeros should always be included for values between -1 and 1.
```css
flex: 0px; /* This flex-basis component requires a unit. */
flex: 1 1 0px; /* Not ambiguous without the unit, but needed in IE11. */
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 0.8em;
```
--------------------------------
### HTML General Formatting: New Lines and Indentation
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Format HTML by placing each block, list, or table element on a new line and indenting child elements. This improves readability, especially for nested structures. Exceptions for list items (`
`) are allowed if whitespace issues arise, with linters encouraged to warn rather than error.
```html
Space, the final frontier.
Moe
Larry
Curly
Income
Taxes
$ 5.00
$ 4.50
```
--------------------------------
### CSS Hexadecimal Color Notation
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Recommends using 3-character hexadecimal notation for CSS color values when possible. This shorthand notation is more succinct and reduces the overall code length.
```css
/* Not recommended */
color: #eebbcc;
/* Recommended */
color: #ebc;
```
--------------------------------
### Use Semantic HTML Elements
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html

```html
All recommendations
All recommendations
```
--------------------------------
### CSS Quotation Mark Usage
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Details the preference for single quotes (`''`) over double quotes (`""`) for attribute selectors and property values in CSS, with exceptions for `url()` and `@charset`.
```css
/* Not recommended */
@import url("https://www.google.com/css/maia.css");
html {
font-family: "open sans", arial, sans-serif;
}
/* Recommended */
@import url(https://www.google.com/css/maia.css);
html {
font-family: 'open sans', arial, sans-serif;
}
```
--------------------------------
### CSS !important Declarations
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Advises against the use of `!important` declarations in CSS. These declarations disrupt the natural cascade of styles, making them difficult to manage and override. Selector specificity should be used instead to control style application.
```css
/* Not recommended */
.example {
font-weight: bold !important;
}
/* Recommended */
.example {
font-weight: bold;
}
```
--------------------------------
### CSS Class Name Style and Delimiters
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Illustrates best practices for CSS class name length and word separation. Class names should be as short as possible but as long as necessary to convey meaning. Words within class names should be separated by hyphens for improved readability and scannability.
```css
/* Not recommended */
.navigation {}
.atr {}
/* Recommended */
.nav {}
.author {}
/* Not recommended: does not separate the words “demo” and “image” */
.demoimage {}
/* Not recommended: uses underscore instead of hyphen */
.error_status {}
/* Recommended */
.video-id {}
.ads-sample {}
```
--------------------------------
### Ensure CSS Validity
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Write valid CSS code whenever possible. Utilize tools like the W3C CSS validator to check for errors. Valid CSS ensures that styles are applied correctly, prevents unused code, and maintains a higher baseline quality for stylesheets.
```css
/* Example of valid CSS */
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.container {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
```
--------------------------------
### Avoid Unnecessary ID Attributes in HTML
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Prefer `class` for styling and `data` attributes for scripting over `id`. When `id` is necessary, include a hyphen in its value (e.g., `user-profile`) to prevent conflicts with JavaScript global variables, as `id` attributes are exposed as properties on the `window` object.
```html
...
...
```
--------------------------------
### Use Double Quotation Marks for HTML Attributes
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Consistently use double quotation marks (`"`) for all HTML attribute values. This standard practice ensures consistency and avoids potential parsing issues that can arise with single quotes (`'`).
```html
Sign inSign in
```
--------------------------------
### Omit Type Attributes for Scripts and Stylesheets
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Avoid using `type` attributes for `` and `
```
--------------------------------
### CSS Type and ID Selector Usage
Source: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html
Advises against qualifying class names with type selectors and avoiding ID selectors. This practice improves performance by reducing unnecessary ancestor selectors and avoids the difficulties of ensuring ID uniqueness across a page. Class selectors are preferred.
```css
/* Not recommended */
ul.example {}
div.error {}
/* Recommended */
.example {}
.error {}
/* Not recommended */
#example {}
/* Recommended */
.example {}
```
