Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Specifies the document type and version of HTML -->
<html>
<head>
<title>How to set the content to the text you specified</title><!-- Sets the title of the HTML document -->
<style type="text/css"> /* Begins a CSS style block */
p:before {
content: "Learn Tutorial - "; /* Inserts the specified text before the content of all <p> elements */
}
</style><!-- Ends the CSS style block -->
</head>
<body>
<p>w3resource - HTML5</p><!-- Inserts a paragraph element with the specified content -->
<p>w3resource - CSS3</p><!-- Inserts another paragraph element with the specified content -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to use the content property in CSS to specify custom text content before the content of selected elements.
The CSS rule p:before selects the pseudo-element ::before of all <p> elements.
The content: "Learn Tutorial - "; property inserts the specified text "Learn Tutorial - " before the content of each <p> element.
In this example, each paragraph element is preceded by the text "Learn Tutorial - ".
