Until

now, content providers did not have the control they have in print media over screen rendering.

A style sheet language offers a powerful and manageable way for authors, artists and typographers to create the visual effects they want, e.g.

• margins and indents
• line spacing and length
• background images and colors
• fonts, font sizes, and font colors
• ... and much more.

Some of the benefits of using CSS:

• Style sheets allow you to separate the style and layout of your HTML files from their informational content.

  You can define the look of a site in one file, and change the whole site by changing just the one file. But be careful of unexpected effects !

  You can make all of your HTML layout and formatting changes in one location, either in an external file referenced by any number of pages, or the style can be applied to a specific section of text within the body of a page.

  The HTML code becomes simpler and more manageable because you don't have to keep repeating tricks to control rendering in your HTML files (except that you will need for a while to maintain good presentation for older browsers).

• Using relative measurements in your style sheet, you can present your documents to look good on any monitor at any resolution.

• You have finer and more predictable control over presentation. CSS has been designed to deal with issues which HTML was not.

• Older browsers will simply ignore your style sheets so they will not break existing pages.

• The CSS style sheet mechanism allows readers to influence the presentation of HTML documents. Style sheets allow both document authors and readers to specify rendering rules for HTML documents. Cascading means that if both parties supply style sheets then the browser will apply both, using further rules for resolving conflicts.

• Style sheets will allow companies to easily adopt a house look and feel, and this will help give readers a sense of where they are and what they are reading.

  Style sheets can be pointed to from Web documents via hyperlinks and this will dramatically simplify the maintenance of Web sites.

  If the company later changes the house style they only need to make changes in one place.

• The main document format on the Web, the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), was intentionally designed as a simple language that favored document structure over document presentation.

  The enormous commercial interest in the Web has created an enormous demand for enhanced presentations.

  The definition of a common style sheet format for HTML documents offers significant advantages over the many proprietary solutions which currently exist.

• Style sheets will also improve the printing of Web documents.

  Paper has different properties than a computer screen and the differences can be accounted for in a style sheet.

  Web authors should be confident that their documents will look as good on paper as they do on computer screens.

• People with disabilities have better access to your pages. Visually impaired Web users may need increased font sizes and will be among the first to benefit from style sheets.

  CSS provides a framework for speech style sheets.

  A style sheet can produce rich aural presentations by describing pauses intonation, and other components of speech along with non-speech sound cues.
