You’re asking about the CSS selector and declaration “py-1 [&>p]:inline”. This looks like Tailwind CSS (or a Tailwind-style utility syntax) combined with a JIT/variant group selector. Explanation:
- py-1 — utility that sets vertical padding (padding-top and padding-bottom) to the framework’s spacing value 1.
- [&>p]:inline — an arbitrary variant using the “&” placeholder to target direct child
elements and apply the inline utility to them. Concretely it means: for any element with this class, make its immediate child
elements display: inline.
Combined effect: the element gets vertical padding of size 1, and any direct child
is styled display:inline (instead of default display:block).
Browser/CSS equivalent:
- py-1 → padding-top: ; padding-bottom: ;
- [&>p]:inline → selector: .your-class > p { display: inline; }
Notes:
- This syntax requires Tailwind JIT / arbitrary selector support (the square-bracket variant).
- In plain CSS you’d write something like:
css
.element { padding-top: 0.25rem; padding-bottom: 0.25rem; }.element > p { display: inline; }
(adjust spacing value to your Tailwind config).
