| CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)CSS is a Style Sheet Language which has been primarily designed for HTML, even though it can also be used for XML documents. While HTML should be used to define the contents of a WWW page, CSS is the language for specifying the presentation aspects of it. The two main advantages of HTML with CSS over HTML without CSS are the clear separation of content and presentation (which makes the automated processing of WWW pages much easier and also enables users to apply their own style sheets instead of the defaults provided by their Browser or a WWW page's designer), and the greatly enhanced formatting capabilities with CSS.
