Cascading Style Sheets

CSS is a “style sheet” language. What does that mean? “used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language such as HTML.” Well, we don’t have that many other markup languages lately… so –

It’s a “declarative” programming language. “There is no one specific definition of the paradigm, but all definitions agree on one thing: A characteristic feature of declarative programming languages is that they always describe the desired end result rather than outlining all the intermediate work steps.” Ay Yai Yai – (that’s all too confusing… ignore it!)
