An accent edge info card built with pure HTML and CSS that highlights important information using a colored edge or border accent, improving visual focus without relying on JavaScript or external libraries.
Usage
This component is ideal for interfaces where key information needs subtle emphasis, such as feature descriptions, notices, highlights, summaries, or informational UI sections.
Implementation
The accent edge effect is implemented using CSS borders, pseudo-elements, and spacing control, allowing the card to visually stand out while remaining lightweight and easy to customize.
