HTML, XHTML & CSS

In this part . . .
Here, we introduce and describe Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS), a powerful markup language designed
to supplement (X)HTML and to manage the way pages
look inside a Web browser. (X)HTML can reference CSS
by including either an external style sheet or inline CSS
markup within an (X)HTML document.
You start by familiarizing yourself with the many and various
capabilities of CSS, by looking at different kinds of
style sheets, and by getting acquainted with the rules for
handling multiple style sheets when they’re applied to a
single Web page (that’s where the Cascading in CSS comes
from). Of course, you also find out how to build and use
CSS for such things as creating visual layouts, positioning
individual items, and handling fonts. Because CSS
also provides controls for modifying how color and text
appears on the page, we show you how to deal with these
capabilities, too.
