Dev new to Publii – trying to understand CSS

    I understand a lot of what is going on in the CSS file main.css – I know it is being post processed to create a final CSS, and that there are lots of variables that allow for lots of flexibility.   Something I have not seen before, and am trying to understand is the square bracket notation in this snippet for the Simple theme:

    [type=text],
[type=url],
[type=tel],
[type=number],
[type=email],
[type=search],
textarea,
select {  ...

    These might be css features I am not aware of, or something unique to Publii.

    Looking for some enlightenment.

    Thanks

    Nothing unique :), just a few CSS rules responsible for basic styling of inputs if you wanted to place a form on a website.

    Yeah – now I feel silly.  I did a little searching and saw that this has been a common construct in CSS for a long time.  I have never used it.  Thanks
