Chapter Summary
This chapter introduced Cascading Style Sheet rules associated with color and text on Web pages. There is
much more that you can do with CSS: positioning, hiding and showing page areas, formatting margins, and
formatting borders. As you continue your study of Web development with this textbook, you will study these
additional uses. To learn more about CSS, check out the tutorials at http://echoecho.com/css.htm and
http://www.w3schools.com/css/, or visit the W3C site for official specifications.
