CSS Before and After pseudo elements explained - part two: the content property

The before and after CSS pseudo elements are great, and they have the content property which a lot of people don't really know how powerful it actually is, so in this video I show you some fun things you can do with it, from a markupless tool tip to a quick dive into CSS counters, which are awesome!

The codepen is here: https://codepen.io/kevinpowell/pen/a1...

There is more to the css content property than this, but I think these will open your eyes to the possiblities:

01:09 use case: insert images (e.g. background)
01:48 use case: opening/close quotes

07:57 tooltip: add hover effect + animation
09:31 tooltip: animation origin
10:53 tooltip reminder: attr
11:00 use case: text decorations
12:35 use cases: text decoration: font awesome
14:07 use cases: counters
16:34 use cases: counters: adding text (space, braces, etc)
17:11 use cases: counters: put in a circle
18:23 use cases: counters: put in a circle: align using flex
18:49 use cases: counters: put in a circle: border-radius
19:25 use cases: counters: put in a circle: border
