W3C CSS2 Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 - instructional media + ...

Link to a target medium
The body...
The @import [p. 71] rule is defined in the chapter on the cascade [p. 69] .
7.2.1 The @media rule
An @media rule specifies the target media types [p. 78] (separated by commas)
of a set of rules (delimited by curly braces). The @media construct allows style
sheet rules for various media in the same style sheet:
@media print {
BODY { font-size: 10pt }
}
@media screen {
BODY { font-size: 12pt }
}
@media screen, print {
BODY { line-height: 1.2 }
}
7.3 Recognized media types
A CSS media type names a set of CSS properties. A user agent that claims to
support a media type by name must implement all of the properties that apply to
that media type.
The names chosen for CSS media types reflect target devices for which the
relevant properties make sense. In the following list of CSS media types, the
parenthetical descriptions are not normative. They only give a sense of what
device the media type is meant to refer to.
