CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

While (X)HTML is used to describe the content in a web page, it is Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS) that describe how you want that content to look. In the
web design biz, the way the page looks is known as its presentation. CSS is
now the official and standard mechanism for formatting text and page layouts.
CSS also provides methods for controlling how documents will be presented
in media other than the traditional browser on a screen, such as in print and
on handheld devices. It also has rules for specifying the non-visual presentation
of documents, such as how they will sound when read by a screen
reader.

Style sheets are also a great tool for automating production, because you can
make changes to all the pages in your site by editing a single style sheet document.
Style sheets are supported to some degree by all modern browsers.
Although it is possible to publish web pages using (X)HTML alone, you’ll
probably want to take on style sheets so you’re not stuck with the browser’s
default styles. If you’re looking into designing web sites professionally, proficiency
at style sheets is mandatory.
