Creating a comprehensive CSS glossary of the top 40 concepts and tools, complete with code and usage examples, is a sizable task. Below, I'll provide a structured example in MediaWiki format for a selection of key CSS concepts and tools. This will highlight various selectors, properties, frameworks, and methodologies crucial for effective CSS development. Given the format's limitations, this will offer a concise overview focusing on commonly used elements and practices in CSS.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in HTML or XML. This glossary covers essential CSS concepts, CSS properties, and CSS tools, including CSS examples of their usage.

• Description: CSS Selectors define which HTML elements to CSS style.
• Example: `div { color: blue; }` styles all `<div>` elements with blue text.
• Usage: Use selectors to target HTML elements for styling.

• Description: CSS Properties specify the CSS styles to be applied to HTML elements.
• Example: `color: red;` applies a red color to the text of the selected element.
• Usage: Combine properties with selectors to apply specific styles to elements.

• Description: CSS Values define the CSS settings for the chosen CSS properties.
• Example: In `font-size: 14px;`, `14px` is the value for the `font-size` property.
• Usage: Specify values to control the appearance of elements styled by CSS.

• Description: CSS Classes are reusable CSS identifiers that can be applied to HTML elements.
• Example: `.btn { background-color: green; }` can be applied with `<div class=“btn”>`.
• Usage: Use classes to apply the same styles to multiple elements.

• Description: CSS IDs are unique CSS identifiers for CSS styling individual HTML elements.
• Example: `#header { background-color: black; }` targets `<div id=“header”>`.
• Usage: Use IDs for elements that require unique styling.

• Description: The CSS box model describes the CSS layout of HTML elements as CSS boxes, including CSS margins, CSS borders, CSS padding, and the CSS content area.
• Example: `margin: 10px; border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px; width: 300px;`
• Usage: Understanding the box model is essential for laying out and spacing elements on the page.

• Description: Flexbox is a CSS layout model for arranging HTML elements in one-dimensional arrays.
• Example: `display: flex; justify-content: space-between;`
• Usage: Use Flexbox for responsive, fluid layouts and aligning items within a container.

• Description: CSS Grid is a two-dimensional layout system for CSS, providing more control over how HTML content is positioned on a web page.
• Example: `display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);`
• Usage: Use CSS Grid for complex layouts and precise positioning of elements.

• Description: CSS Media Queries allow the application of CSS styles based on the device's condition, such as screen width.
• Example: `@media (min-width: 600px) { .sidebar { display: none; } }`
• Usage: Use media queries for responsive design, adapting the layout to different screen sizes.

• Description: CSS Transition provides a way to control CSS animation speed when changing CSS properties.
• Example: `transition: background-color 0.5s ease;`
• Usage: Apply transitions to smoothly animate changes to properties.

• Description: CSS Animation - CSS Keyframes are used to create complex CSS animations by defining CSS styles at various points.
• Example:

```css @keyframes slidein {

 from { transform: translateX(0%); }
 to { transform: translateX(100%); }

• Usage: Use animations to add dynamic interactions and visual effects to elements.

• Description: CSS frameworks provide pre-written CSS files for common CSS tasks and CSS components.
• Example: Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS offer CSS classes for CSS grid systems, CSS buttons, CSS modals, etc.
• Usage: Use frameworks to expedite CSS development with consistent styling across projects.

• Description: CSS Preprocessors such as Sass and LESS CSS preprocessor extend CSS with features like CSS variables, CSS nested rules, and CSS mixins.
• Example: Sass allows CSS variables (`$primary-color: blue;`) and CSS nesting.
• Usage: Use preprocessors for more maintainable and dynamic stylesheet writing.
