This section is a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) quick reference. It provides quick basic descriptions of how to do things with CSS. It is not a comprehensive tutorial, nor is it a definitive reference.

For simplicity, most of the examples show how to set style using the inline method. You should be able to easily convert these to embedded or externally linked declarations.

CSS provides the page design capability for the Web that print publishing has been enjoying for years. Style sheets give you accurate control over page layout and positioning, advanced font control, and color control. With style sheets, you can specify text sizes and spacing between lines (leading) in points.

CSS separates the typographics and page layout from the content of Web pages, making it much easier to revise your content or change your page design. With CSS, you can change the formatting of individual Web pages or your entire site without editing every single HTML tag in every single file.
