| − | '''Cascading Style Sheets''' ('''CSS''') are used with [[HTML]] to give a web page designers centralized control over the appearance of each page. CSS rules work best when stored in a stylesheet document, but style rules can also be ''embedded'' into a web page (in the header) or used ''inline'' (in a tag).

| − | ==Format==
| |
| − | All definitions in CSS are written as
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | selector {
| |
| − | property: value;
| |
| − | }</pre>
| |
| − | For example, in order to change the background to red, and the text color to maroon, you would type,
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | body {
| |
| − | background:red;
| |
| − | color:maroon
| |
| − | }</pre> Body is the selector - meaning you want to edit a characteristic of the body in html, background and color are the properties - background refers to the background color and color refers to the text color, and then red and maroon are the given values for those properties.
