<h1>CSS <code>:read-write</code> pseudo-class</h1>
<p>The <code>:read-write</code> pseudo-class targets elements that <span class="underline">can</span> be edited by the user. It can work on elements that have the <code>contenteditable</code> HTML attribute as well.</p>
<p>This pseudo-class can be combined with the <code>:focus</code> pseudo-class to enhance the UX under particular situations.</p>
<p>In the following example, this DIV <span class="underline">can</span> be edited in the browser by clicking on it. Since this piece of content is editable by the user the UX can be enhanced by applying a particular styling that will differentiate it
from the rest of the content and provide a visual cue to the user that the content can be edited:</p>
<div class="editable" contenteditable>
<h1>Click on this text to edit it</h1>
