Cascading Style Sheets
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, you can control the format and positioning
of a block-level elements in a web page. For example, you
can set margins, borders, float text around other text, and
so on.
