Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration of HTML5 document type -->
<html>
<head>
<title>How to specify a left dotted border</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
<style>
/* CSS styling */
h1  {
  border-style: solid; /* Sets the border style for h1 elements to solid */
  border-width: 5px; /* Sets the border width for h1 elements to 5 pixels */
}
h1.dotted {border-left-style:dotted;} /* Defines a class for h1 elements with a dotted left border */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>w3resource Tutorial</p><!-- Paragraph content -->
<h1 class="dotted">Dotted left border</h1><!-- h1 element with a dotted left border -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to specify a left dotted border for an h1 element.
The h1 elements have a common style with a solid border and a width of 5 pixels.
An additional CSS class named dotted is defined to apply the dotted border style specifically to the left side.
The h1 element with the class dotted is used to demonstrate the dotted left border.
