11Cascading Style Sheets \(CSS\) is a language used to describe the HML page structure. All HML components have default styles. You can customize styles for these components using CSS to design various pages.
12
13## Size Unit<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058988944_section81638230913"></a>
14
151.  Logical px set by  **<length\>**:
16    1.  The default logical screen width is 720 px \(for details, see the  **"window"**  section in  [config.json](js-tag.md#EN-US_TOPIC_0000001162494585)\). Your page will be scaled to fit the actual width of the screen. For example, on a screen with the actual width of 1440 physical px, 100 px is displayed on 200 physical px, with all sizes doubled from 720 px to 1440 px.
17    2.  If you set  **autoDesignWidth**  to  **true**  \(for details, see the  **"window"**  section in  [config.json](js-tag.md#EN-US_TOPIC_0000001162494585)\), the logical px are scaled based on the screen density. For example, if the screen density is 3x, 100 px will be rendered on 300 physical px. This approach is recommended when your application needs to adapt to multiple devices.
18
192.  Percentage set by  **<percentage\>**: The component size is represented by its percentage of the parent component size. For example, if the width  **<percentage\>**  of a component is set to  **50%**, the width of the component is half of its parent component's width.

21## Style Import<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058988944_section890312411592"></a>
22
23CSS files can be imported using the  **@import**  statement. This facilitates module management and code reuse.
24
25## Style Declaration<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058988944_section197695604215"></a>
26
27The  **.css**  file with the same name as the  **.hml**  file in each page directory describes the styles of components on the HML page, determining how the components will be displayed.
28
291.  Internal style: The  **style**  and  **class**  attributes can be used to specify the component style. Example:
30
31    ```
32    <!-- index.hml -->
33    <div class="container">
34      <text style="color: red">Hello World</text>
35    </div>
36    ```
37
38    ```
39    /* index.css */
40    .container {
41      justify-content: center;
42    }
43    ```
44
452.  External style files: You need to import the files. For example, create a  **style.css**  file in the  **common**  directory and import the file at the beginning of  **index.css**.
46
47    ```
48    /* style.css */
49    .title {
50      font-size: 50px;
51    }
52    ```
53
54    ```
55    /* index.css */
56    @import '../../common/style.css';
57    .container {
58      justify-content: center;
59    }
60    ```

The two styles have the same priority, but  **.container \> text**  declares the style later and overwrites the former style. \(For details about the priority, see  [Selector Specificity](#en-us_topic_0000001058988944_section1460102134415).\)

162## Selector Specificity<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058988944_section1460102134415"></a>
163
164The specificity rule of the selectors complies with the W3C rule, which is only available for inline styles,  **id**,  **class**,  **tag**, grandchild components, and child components. \(Inline styles are those declared in the  **style**  attribute.\)
165
166When multiple selectors point to the same element, their priorities are as follows \(in descending order\): inline style \>  **id**  \>  **class**  \>  **tag**.
167
168## Pseudo-classes<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058988944_section633010213458"></a>
169
170A CSS pseudo-class is a keyword added to a selector that specifies a special state of the selected element\(s\). For example,  **:disabled**  can be used to select the element whose  **disabled**  attribute is  **true**.
171
172In addition to a single pseudo-class, a combination of pseudo-classes is supported. For example,  **:disabled:checked**  selects the element whose  **disabled**  and  **checked**  attributes are both set to  **true**. The following table lists the supported single pseudo-class in descending order of priority.

234
235Precompilation is a program that uses specific syntax to generate CSS files. It provides variables and calculation, helping you define component styles more conveniently. Currently, Less, Sass, and Scss are supported. To use precompiled styles, change the suffix of the original  **.css**  file. For example, change  **index.css**  to  **index.less**,  **index.sass**, or  **index.scss**.
236
237-   The following  **index.less**  file is changed from  **index.css**.
238
239    ```
240    /* index.less */
241    /* Define a variable. */
242    @colorBackground: #000000;
243    .container {
244      background-color: @colorBackground; /* Use the variable defined in the .less file. */
245    }
246    ```
247
248
249-   Reference a precompiled style file. For example, if the  **style.scss**  file is located in the  **common**  directory, change the original  **index.css**  file to  **index.scss**  and import  **style.scss**.
250
251    ```
252    /* style.scss */
253    /* Define a variable. */
254    $colorBackground: #000000;
255    ```
256
257    Reference the precompiled style file in  **index.scss**:
258
259    ```
260    /* index.scss */
261    /* Import style.scss. */
262    @import '../../common/style.scss';
263    .container {
264      background-color: $colorBackground; /* Use the variable defined in style.scss. */
265    }
266    ```
