To draw a code icon with CSS, you can use the
:before
or:after
pseudo-element to create a content block, and then use thecontent
property to add the code character (</>
) inside the block. Then, you can use various CSS properties, such asborder
,border-radius
,background-color
, andbox-shadow
, to style and customize the appearance of the icon.
Here is an example of a code icon created with CSS:
.code-icon:before {
content: "</>";
font-family: monospace;
font-size: 36px;
color: #333;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 5px;
background-color: #eee;
box-shadow: 2px2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5); padding: 10px;
margin: 20px;
}
This CSS code will create a code icon that looks like this:
<div class="code-icon"></div>
You can further customize the appearance of the icon by adjusting the various CSS properties, such as the font, size, color, border, and shadow.
