                        <p>This specification defines Cascading Style Sheets, level 2
revision 1 (CSS 2.1). CSS 2.1 is a style sheet
language that allows authors and users to attach style (e.g., fonts
and spacing) to structured documents (e.g., HTML documents and XML
applications). By separating the presentation style of documents
from the content of documents, CSS 2.1 simplifies Web
authoring and site maintenance.</p>
                        <p>CSS 2.1 builds on CSS2 [CSS2] which builds on CSS1 [CSS1]. It supports media-specific style
sheets so that authors may tailor the presentation of their
documents to visual browsers, aural devices, printers, braille
devices, handheld devices, etc. It also supports content
positioning, table layout, features for internationalization and
some properties related to user interface.</p>
                        <p>CSS 2.1 corrects a few errors in CSS2 (the most important
being a new definition of the height/width of absolutely positioned
elements, more influence for HTML's "style" attribute and a new
calculation of the 'clip' property), and adds a few highly
requested features which have already been widely implemented. But
most of all CSS 2.1 represents a "snapshot" of CSS usage: it
consists of all CSS features that are implemented interoperably at
the date of publication of the Recommendation.</p>
                        <p>CSS 2.1 is derived from and is intended to replace CSS2.
Some parts of CSS2 are unchanged in CSS 2.1, some parts have
been altered, and some parts removed. The removed portions may be
used in a future CSS3 specification. Future specs should refer to
CSS 2.1 (unless they need features from CSS2 which have been
dropped in CSS 2.1, and then they should only reference CSS2
for those features, or preferably reference such feature(s) in the
respective CSS3 Module that includes those feature(s)).</p>

document may use sans-serif fonts when displayed on a screen and
serif fonts when printed. &#x2018;<code>screen</code>&#x2019; and
&#x2018;<code>print</code>&#x2019; are two media types that have been
defined. <em>Media queries</em> extend the functionality of media
types by allowing more precise labeling of style sheets.</p>
                        <p>A media query consists of a media type and zero or more
expressions to limit the scope of style sheets. Among the <em>media

&#x2018;<code>color</code>&#x2019;. By using media queries,
presentations can be tailored to a specific range of output devices
without changing the content itself.</p>

perform DOM operations on a specific set of elements in a document.

rendering of documents on various media. When documents (e.g.,
HTML) are laid out on visual media (e.g., screen or print) and the

One way, available on certain devices, is the &#x201C;marquee&#x201D; effect: the
content is animated and moves automatically back and forth. This

                        <p>CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) describes the rendering of
documents on various media. When textual documents (e.g., HTML) are
laid out on visual media (e.g., screen or print), CSS models the
document as a hierarchy of boxes containing words, lines,
paragraphs, tables, etc. each with properties such as size, color
and font.</p>
                        <p>This module describes the basic types of boxes, with their
padding and margin, and the normal &#x201C;flow&#x201D; (i.e., the sequence of
blocks of text with margins in-between). It also defines &#x201C;floating&#x201D;
boxes, but other kinds of layout, such as tables, absolute
positioning, ruby annotations, grid layouts, columns and numbered
pages, are described by other modules. Also, the layout of text
inside each line (including the handling of left-to-right and
right-to-left scripts) is defined elsewhere.</p>
                        <p>Boxes may contain either horizontal or vertical lines of text.
Boxes of different orientations may be mixed in one flow. (This is
a level&#xA0;3 feature.)</p>

Style Sheets (CSS) to better support printing from the Web. These

problem, but one which can yield good results in the near term.</p>

                        <p>This document describes style sheet properties for rendering Web
documents as synthesized speech. Using style sheets rather than
HTML tag extensions allows the same document to be read with
visual, aural, or mulitmodal presentation without cluttering up the
document or having to produce three (or more) separate parallel
documents - which has been shown to result in consistency and
update problems. This approach provides greatly improved document
accessibility for visually disabled people (the information is
better presented and is just as up-to-date as the visual version)
without requiring compromises in the visual design of the
document.</p>

                        <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 (Cascading
Style Sheets) 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
CSS1 and HTML
3.2 are assumed.</p>
