Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are a collection of formatting rules
which control the appearance of content in a web page. With CSS styles
you have great flexibility and control of the exact page appearance,
from precise positioning of layout to specific fonts and styles.
CSS styles let you control many properties that cannot be controlled
using HTML alone. For example, you can assign custom list bullets
and specify different font sizes and units (pixels, points, and
so on). By using CSS styles and setting font sizes in pixels, you
can ensure a more consistent treatment of your page layout and appearance
in multiple browsers. In addition to text formatting.
A CSS style rule consists of two parts—the selector and the
declaration. The selector is the name of the style (such as TR,
or P) and the declaration defines what the style elements are. The
declaration consists of two parts, the property (such as font-family),
and value (such as Helvetica). The term cascading refers to your
ability to apply multiple style sheets to the same web page
