CSS allows us to control the space around individual sides of an element. The CSS margin property is a shorthand for the following properties: margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom and margin-left.
Syntax
The syntax of CSS margin property is as follows −
Selector {
margin-top: /*value*/
margin-right: /*value*/
margin-bottom: /*value*/
margin-left: /*value*/
}The following examples illustrate CSS margin property −
