Cascading Style Sheets

Cascading Style Sheets give you far greater control over how your pages will be displayed than is possible with only HTML. Style sheets also make it possible to add numerous stylistic enhancements to pages that are often difficult or impossible to achieve with HTML alone. But for all of their power, the basic features of style sheets are very easy to use.

What Style Sheets Aren't

Before we take a look at some examples of style sheets and see how they work, let's take a brief moment to note what style sheets aren't. Style sheets are not HTML. If you want to use the powerful features of style sheets, you can't do so with just the HTML commands that you've already learned. Instead, you'll have to learn (at least parts of) a new language that works with HTML. But the good news is that it is a very simple language.
