Revision 1028824 of CSS reference

<p><span class="seoSummary">This <em>CSS Reference</em> shows the basic syntax of a CSS rule; and lists all standard <a href="/en-US/docs/CSS">CSS</a> properties, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Pseudo-classes">pseudo-classes</a> and <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Pseudo-elements">pseudo-elements</a>, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/At-rule">@-rules</a>, <a href="/en/docs/Web/CSS/length">units</a>, and <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Getting_Started/Selectors">selectors</a> together in <a href="#Keyword_index">alphabetical order</a>, as well as just the <a href="#Selectors">selectors by type</a>. </span>It allows you to quickly access detailed information for each of them. <span class="seoSummary">It not only lists the CSS 1 and CSS 2.1 properties, but also is a CSS3 reference that links to any <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS3">CSS3</a> property and concept standardized, or already stabilized.</span></p>
