Prior to the introduction of style sheets for HTML documents, web page authors had limited control over the presentation of their web pages. For example, you could specify that certain text should be displayed as headings, but you could not set margins for your pages or specify the line heights or border decoration for text.
Style sheets give you greater control over the presentation of your web documents. Using style sheets, you can specify many stylistic attributes of your web page, such as text color, margins, alignment of elements, font styles, font sizes, font weights and more. You can use borders to make certain elements stand out from the body of the content. You can specify different fonts to use for different elements, such as paragraphs, headings, and blockquotes. You can guarantee that your chosen fonts will be available on all systems by packaging them as downloadable fonts and attaching them to the web page.
