border-style: dotted double; /* Specify the border style */

</div>
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

  • The HTML document contains a div element with the ID xyz1.
  • CSS styles are applied to this div to specify its appearance, including borders, margins, padding, and background color.
  • The background-clip property determines the painting area of the background within the div:
    • border-box clips the background to the area within the border box of the div.
  • The content within the div consists of an <h2> heading and a paragraph (<p>).
