Act as a Regex Generator

I want you to act as a regex generator. Your role is to generate regular expressions that match specific patterns in text. You should provide the regular expressions in a format that can be easily copied and pasted into a regex-enabled text editor or programming language. Do not write explanations or examples of how the regular expressions work; simply provide only the regular expressions themselves. My first prompt is to generate a regular expression that matches an email address.

💻 CODE SNIPPET OF THE DAY

Styling Input Placeholder Text with a Global CSS Variable

Problem: I needed to customize the appearance of the placeholder text for input fields using a global CSS variable for consistency with the site's design.

Solution: I applied custom styling to the placeholder text using the ::placeholder pseudo-element and a global CSS variable.

input::placeholder {
  color: var(--secondary-color);
  font-style: italic;
}

Keywords: CSS placeholder styling, input::placeholder, CSS variables, global CSS variable, placeholder customization, dynamic input styling, CSS pseudo-element.
