                       INTRODUCTION TO CSS


                 CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a simple design language that enables to simplify the
                 process of making web pages. It handles and describes how an HTML web page will be presented
                 on a web browser. It saves a lot of time, as one design layout can be used to make more web pages.
                 The latest version of CSS is CSS 3. CSS 3 stands for Cascading Style Sheets Level 3. Earlier, CSS 2 was
                 used.
                 Using CSS, a web designer can control the text colour, font style, paragraph spacing, column size,
                 background images, layout designs, etc.


                      Basic Structure of CSS
                 CSS  comprises of style  rules that  are interpreted by  the  web browser and then applied  to  the
                 corresponding  elements  in a document.  Its style  rule is  made  of two  parts  i.e.  ‘Selector’  and
                 ‘Declaration’. ‘Declaration’ can be further categorized into ‘Property’ and ‘Value’.


                 Selectors

                 In CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), selectors are patterns that define which HTML elements to style.
                 Selectors target specific elements or groups of elements on a web page, allowing you to apply styles
                 to them.
                 Syntax: Selector {Property:Value}
                   Selector: It signifies or points to a HTML tag, to which a style will be applied. Selector could be any
                   tag like <H1>, <TABLE>, etc.
                   Property: It is  a  type  of attribute  (such as  text  colour,  font  style,  paragraph  spacing,  etc.)  of
                   HTML tag.
