Fondly referred to as ___, is a simple design language
intended to simplify the process of making web pages presentable?
CSS(Cascading Style Sheets)
___ handles the

CSS
Using ___, you can control the color of the text,

CSS
Is easy to learn and understand but it provides a powerful control over the
presentation of an HTML document.
CSS
Is combined with the
markup languages HTML or XHTM
CSS
You can write CSS once and then reuse the same sheet in
multiple HTML pages. You can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to
as many web pages as you want.
CSS saves time
If you are using CSS, you do not need to write HTML tag
attributes every time. Just write one CSS rule of a tag and apply it to all the
occurrences of that tag. So, less code means faster download times.
Pages load faster
To make a global change, simply change the style, and
all the elements in all the web pages will be updated automatically.
Easy maintenance
CSS has a much wider array of attributes than
HTML, so you can give a far better look to your HTML page in comparison to HTML
attributes.
Superior styles to HTML
Style sheets allow content to be optimized
for more than one type of device. By using the same HTML document, different versions of a website can be presented for handheld devices such as PDAs and
cellphones or for printing.
Multiple Device Compatibility
Now HTML attributes are being deprecated and it is
being recommended to use CSS. So it’s a good idea to start using CSS in all the
HTML pages to make them compatible with future browsers.
