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.
