-'''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.
