Define the Styles

The appearance of an item in a Cascading Style Sheet is defined by a property, followed by a ":", followed by a value for that property. Several of these pairs can be listed, separated by a semi-colon (";").

For example, to get navy text in a sans-serif font the definition is:

color:navy; font-family:sans-serif

There are properties for character appearance, paragraph alignment, page colors, background images, borders, text placement and more. See the Index DOT CSS reference for more details.
