As both hyphen (-
) and underscore (_
) are valid characters in CSS and HTML identifiers, what are the advantages and disadvantages using one or the other? I prefer writing CSS class names with hyphens (e.g. field-text
) and underscores for IDs (e.g. featured_content
). Is there a best practice or it's only the matter of taste?
