You’re asking about the CSS selector/utility “py-1 [&>p]:inline”. This looks like Tailwind CSS (or a Tailwind-like utility) using JIT arbitrary variants and nested selector syntax. Explanation:
- py-1 — utility that applies padding-top and padding-bottom: typically 0.25rem (4px) in Tailwind’s default scale.
- [&>p]:inline — an arbitrary variant that targets a child selector. It expands to a rule applied when the element’s direct child p elements match the selector, setting those p elements to display: inline.
Combined intent: on the element with these classes, give vertical padding of 0.25rem and make its direct
children render inline.
Rough equivalent CSS:
.your-element {padding-top: 0.25rem; padding-bottom: 0.25rem;}.your-element > p { display: inline;}Notes:
- The exact padding value depends on your Tailwind config scale.
- Browser support: uses normal CSS; Tailwind compiles these to standard rules.
