Cascading Style Sheets give you far greater control over
how your pages will be displayed than is possible with only
HTML. Style sheets also make it possible to add numerous
stylistic enhancements to pages that are often difficult
or impossible to achieve with HTML alone. But for all of
their power, the basic features of style sheets are very
easy to use.
What Style Sheets Aren't
Before we take a look at some examples of style sheets
and see how they work, let's take a brief moment to note
what style sheets aren't. Style sheets are not HTML. If
you want to use the powerful features of style sheets, you
can't do so with just the HTML commands that you've already
learned. Instead, you'll have to learn (at least parts of)
a new language that works with HTML. But the good news is
that it is a very simple language.
