MDN Learn

I have seen many using %form instead of , %h2 instead of h2, .something instead of

. What is the purpose of using such a syntax? What are the advantages of using %form over ? From where exactly I can learn more about using this kind of syntax?

Let me post an example for clear understanding of what I’m looking for?-
.class1
%h2 Heading
%form
.class2

Hello @gideon19

I’ve seen this in many youtube videos, but never cared much. But when I saw this pen the code looked very compact and couldn’t resist myself asking it out.

Let me know from where I can learn this syntax.

Please excuse if I sound noob :slightly_smiling_face:
