Notes
CSS—CSS (cascading style sheets) defines the styles of different elements in html. It was invented to address a shortcoming of html code, especially its early versions: html didn’t provide options to style documents other than some limited formatting tags like <b>,<i>, etc. CSS was invented just to address this problem. CSS is easy to use, its syntax is simple, and it works with all kinds of browsers. There’re three different ways to apply CSS styles: inline (local level), internal (document level), and external (global level). CSS is especially important if you want to format your webpage stylishly and effectively.
