 +CSS was adopted in the mid 1990's as a way to standardize web pages. Style sheets can be used with many markup languages such as html, xml, svg and xul. It is used for defining the way a document looks. It accomplishes this by giving attributes (colors, fonts) to the tags in a markup language. Before style sheets all attributes had to be added to each tag individually. This can Be very inefficient for a site that has many pages. A style sheet allows an entire page or site to be standardized.
