                    Learning Outcomes


                   The student will be able to:
                       modify text properties using CSS.

                       understand margin properties for layout adjustments.




                 HTML5 provides various methods to format text on a webpage and makes it easy to alter the
                 style of individual elements on a webpage. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a convenient method
                 of style the elements of a webpage. It controls various elements like the colour, font, text size,

                 etc. within a single page or the entire website. CSS can also be used to change the look of any
                 webpage elements such as paragraphs, lists, backgrounds, etc.

                 Every webpage on a website can be linked to a single style sheet, hence, any change made to the
                 style sheet formatting affects every HTML document linked to the sheet. We can use a style sheet
                 as a template by storing all the information in one place and easily change the appearance of our
                 site in one go, thus saving a lot of time in case your site has numerous pages.

                 Text properties are used to change the appearance of the text. The text properties and their
                 values used with the style attribute are given below:
