<p>Um <strong>pseudoelemento</strong> de CSS é uma palavra-chave adicionada ao seletor que lhe permite estilizar uma parte específica do(s) elemento(s) selecionado(s). Por exemplo, {{CSSxRef("::first-line")}} pode ser utilizado para alterar o tipo de letra da primeira linha de um parágrafo.</p>

<pre class="brush: css no-line-numbers">/* The first line of every &lt;p&gt; element. */
p::first-line {
  color: blue;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}</pre>

<div class="note">
<p><strong>Nota:</strong> In contrast to pseudo-elements, {{CSSxRef("pseudo-classes")}} can be used to style an element based on its <em>state</em>.</p>
</div>

<pre class="syntaxbox">selector::pseudo-element {
  property: value;
}</pre>

<p>You can use only one pseudo-element in a selector. It must appear after the simple selectors in the statement.</p>

<div class="note">
<p><strong>Note:</strong> As a rule, double colons (<code>::</code>) should be used instead of a single colon (<code>:</code>). This distinguishes pseudo-classes from pseudo-elements. However, since this distinction was not present in older versions of the W3C spec, most browsers support both syntaxes for the original pseudo-elements.</p>
