to change the style of web pages and user interfaces
written in HTML and XHTML.

the styling of text, layout tables, content flow, positioning of
objects.
An internal style sheet is located inside the header
tag of an HTML or similar markup language. The CSS
rules located in the internal style sheet take a higher
precedence then rules located in an external style
sheet. Typically, an internal style sheet is used when
the rules you are writing are only being used on that
one page, or you need to override particular rules on
just one page.
An external style sheet is ideal when the style is
applied to many pages. With an external style sheet,
you can change the look of an entire Web site by
changing just one file.
