The margin property defines the space around an HTML element. It is possible to use negative values to overlap content. It specifies a shorthand property for setting the margin properties in one declaration.
Example
You can try to run the following code to set margins
<html> <head> </head> <body> <p style = "margin: 20px; border:2px solid yellow;"> All four margins will be 20px </p> <p style = "margin: 15px 4% -10px; border:2px solid red;"> Top margin will be 15px, left and right margin will be 4% of the total width of the document, bottom margin will be -10px </p> </body> </html>
