Cascading Style Sheets
CSS

   <World-Wide Web> (CSS) An extension to {HTML} to allow styles,
   e.g. colour, {font}, size to be specified for certain elements
   of a {hypertext} document.  Style information can be included
   in-line in the HTML file or in a separate CSS file (which can
   then be easily shared by multiple HTML files).  Multiple
   levels of CSS can be used to allow selective overriding of
   styles.
