background: url(image) 0 / cover fixed;

Why is there:

  • A 0 (zero)?
  • A / (forward slash)?

What does that mean/do in CSS?

This is just a shorthand of specifying the background image for a html page. Completely equivalent to:

background: url(image);
background-margin: 0
background-size: cover;
background-position: fixed;
