CSS – Cascading Style Sheets
Is language used to define style of documents created in markup languages, mainly HTML and XHTML.
Easiest way to describe using of CSS is that Cascading Style Sheets contains values of style for each element in HTML document.
So if you have website you can easily classify for example colour and size of the font for different paragraphs, background colours and pictures for each part of page and of course much more.
It is vital to keep CSS code in the separate style sheets file, so HTML code is easier to read and this makes it better accessible. Keeping styles separated from HTML code was the main mission of CSS.
But it is not breaking of rules when CSS is included in HTML file for declaring style of some elements.
Keep in mind that the separation can improve accessibility of your website and reduce complexity and repetition in structure.
CSS allow using of separate styles for different output, so website can be for example rendered with all the coloured text and backgrounds in the internet browsers, and with different style for printing it is printed just as simple text.
CSS is powerful tool for designing modern websites. If you would like to get more into using of CSS then note that we are preparing tutorials for website developers and this will be available shortly.
