Does Webflow's ability to use nested CSS classes, like in the real world, only work when styling objects inside the rich text editor?

Webflow's ability to use nested CSS classes is not limited to styling objects inside the rich text editor. You can use nested classes to style any element on your website, regardless of its location within the page structure.

Here's how you can take advantage of nested CSS classes in Webflow:

1. Creating a Nested Class

• Select the element you want to style.
• In the Style tab of the right sidebar, click on the "+" button next to the class name field.
• Enter the name of your new class and press Enter. This will create a new class for the selected element.
• To nest your class under another class, click on the arrow icon next to the new class name and select the parent class.

1. Applying Styles to the Nested Class

• With the nested class selected, you can now apply styles to it just like any other class.
• In the Style tab, you'll see that your nested class inherits all the properties of its parent, and you can add or override any styles as needed.
• Webflow will generate a specific CSS selector for the nested class, taking into account the hierarchy of the parent and child classes.

1. Using Nested Classes for Advanced Styling

• Nesting classes can be particularly useful for targeting specific elements within a larger structure.
• For example, you can style only the paragraphs within a specific section, or style specific elements within a grid or flex container.
• By nesting classes, you can keep your CSS more organized and make it easier to maintain and update in the future.

1. Combining Nested Classes with Other Selectors

• Webflow allows you to mix and match different selectors to create complex styling rules.
• You can combine nested classes with other selectors like ID selectors (#id) and pseudo-classes (:hover) to achieve precise and targeted styling effects.
• This gives you a high level of flexibility and control over the appearance of your website.

In summary, Webflow's ability to use nested CSS classes is not limited to the rich text editor. You can use nested classes to style any element on your website, making it easier to organize your CSS and apply precise styles to specific elements.
