As an example the code for the class "button" that you used looks like this:



Basically <.a> is a link, you style it as a button by adding <.a class="button"> and can give it a tooltip by using title="etc", you put the text you want to appear on the button in-between the ending and closing tags like so <.a class="button" title="etc">Hi Bob

Just without the periods.

Because Jacob is using button as a global class instead of say one that can only be applied to link elements (a.button), it can be applied to any element that we're allowed to use-<.a> (link) <.img> (image) etc which isn't exactly site breaking but not good practice either because you can end up with things like this:

CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation, including elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts.[1] This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content (such as by allowing for tableless web design). CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and on Braille-based, tactile devices. It can also be used to allow the web page to display differently depending on the screen size or device on which it is being viewed. While the author of a document typically links that document to a CSS style sheet, readers can use a different style sheet, perhaps one on their own computer, to override the one the author has specified.

That being said our ability to use the site's styling code and a few basic html elements isn't a bad thing and can't in any way break the site's functionality.

You can use it to have pictures surrounded in a box neatly like above or add some extra flare to the links in your post.
