<p>The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a simple markup language
used to create hypertext documents that are portable from one platform
to another. HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics
that are appropriate for representing information from a wide range of
applications. CSS (<a href="/Style#css">Cascading Style Sheets</a>) is
a style sheets language that can be applied to HTML to control the
style of a document: which fonts and colors to use, how much white
space to insert, etc. The following specification extends CSS to
support the positioning and visibility of HTML elements in
three-dimensional space. Familiarity with both <a
href="/TR/REC-CSS1">CSS1</a> and <a href="/TR/REC-html32">HTML 3.2</a>
are assumed.</p>
