Not sure if you can call it "code", but I need to lookup css all the time.

CSS might not be a programming language but it is a kind of code nonetheless 🙂

One CSS thing that I always search for is gradients syntax and display: grid stuff

It's totally a programming language... / but - it's ok if you don't agree.

background-image: url($url); - is a function that goes and sends an HTTP request for an image based on an argument.

CSS in general probably doesn't count - because it's like - an entire language / but "Is it text-decoration or font-style...?" - is surely what this discussion is about! haha

For me if it is a matter of property name DevTools suggestions works great. But if it is a whole concept like Grid, Gradients or Flexbox, then I have to search it
