# CSS Types

CSS types define the values that Textual CSS styles accept.

CSS types will be linked from within the [styles reference](../styles/index.md) in the "Formal Syntax" section of each style.
The CSS types will be denoted by a keyword enclosed by angle brackets `<` and `>`.

For example, the style [`align-horizontal`](../styles/align.md) references the CSS type [`<horizontal>`](./horizontal.md):

--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_start.md"
align-horizontal: <a href="./horizontal/">&lt;horizontal&gt;</a>;
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_end.md"
