<h2>What are style sheets?</h2>
<p>Style sheets describe how documents are presented on screens, in
print, or perhaps how they are pronounced. W3C has actively promoted
the use of style sheets on the Web since the Consortium was founded in
1994. The <a href="Activity">Style Activity</a> has produced several W3C
Recommendations (CSS1, CSS2, XPath, XSLT). <a href="CSS/">CSS</a>
especially is widely implemented in browsers.
<p>By attaching style sheets to structured documents on the Web (e.g.
HTML), authors and readers can influence the presentation of documents
without sacrificing device-independence or adding <a
href="customdtd"><blink>new HTML tags</blink></a>.
<p>The easiest way to start experimenting with style sheets is to find
a <a href="CSS/#browsers">browser that supports CSS</a>. Discussions
about style sheets are carried out on the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/Mail/Lists.html#www-style">www-style@w3.org</a>
mailing list and on <a
href="news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets">
comp.&shy;infosystems.&shy;www.&shy;authoring.&shy;stylesheets</a>.
<p>The W3C Style Activity is also developing <a href="XSL/">XSL</a>,
which consists of a combination of XSLT and &#8220;Formatting Objects&#8221;
(XSL-FO).

<div class="section" id="why">
<h2>Why two Style Sheet languages?</h2>
<p class="alt-hint">Wondering which one to choose? Read <a
href="CSS-vs-XSL">"CSS &amp; XSL"</a>
<p>The fact that W3C has developed XSL in addition to CSS has caused
some confusion. Why develop a second style sheet language when
implementors haven't even finished the first one? The answer can be
found in the table below:
<table>
<tr><th> <th>CSS <th>XSL
<tr><td>Can be used with HTML? <td>yes <td>no
<tr><td>Can be used with XML? <td>yes <td>yes
<tr><td>Transformation language? <td>no <td>yes
<tr><td>Syntax <td>CSS <td>XML
</table>
<p>The unique features are that CSS can be used to style HTML &amp; XML
documents. XSL, on the other hand, is able to transform documents. For
example, XSL can be used to transform XML data into HTML/CSS documents
on the Web server. This way, the two languages complement each other
and can be used together.
<p>Both languages can be used to <a href="styling-XML">style XML
documents</a>.
<p>CSS and XSL use the same underlying formatting model and designers
therefore have access to the same formatting features in both
languages. W3C will work hard to ensure that interoperable
implementations of the formatting model are available.
<p>A W3C Note on <a href="/TR/NOTE-XSL-and-CSS">"Using XSL and CSS
together"</a> is available.

<h2>XSL</h2>
<p>W3C has a Working Group to develop the eXtensible Style
Language (XSL). XSL builds on DSSSL and CSS and is primarily targeted
for highly structured XML data which, e.g., needs element reordering
before presentation. For more information on XSL see the <a

<h2>CSS-DOM &amp; SAC</h2>
<p>A CSS file can be created and edited &#8220;by hand,&#8221; i.e.,
with a text editor, but you can also write a program in ECMAscript,
Java or some other language, that manipulates a style sheet. This is
in fact so common, that there are software libraries of useful
functions available. To help in porting such program &amp; libraries
to different computer platforms, W3C has developed a specification
called <em>CSS-DOM,</em> that defines a set of functions that all such
libraries must provide.
<p>The CSS Document Object Model is an <em>API</em> (Abstract
Programming Interface) for manipulating CSS (and to a certain extent
also other style languages) from within a program. An API is the
specification of a software library. You can see it as a manual: it
describes the functions and their parameters, but doesn't contain the
actual code.
<p>There are several CSS-DOM libraries available, for different
platforms. Many of them are free. Many browsers have a CSS-DOM library
built-in, for use by ECMAScript programs.
<p>SAC (Simple API for CSS) is a complement to the CSS-DOM. The
CSS-DOM contains functions to manipulate a style sheet after it has
been loaded into memory; the functions defined by SAC help in
<em>parsing</em> a style sheet, i.e., in transferring a style sheet
from a file into memory.
<p>The <a href="../TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/">CSS-DOM</a> is a W3C
Recommendation. <a href="CSS/SAC/">SAC</a> is a project under
development. <a href="CSS/#software">Some software</a> (other than
browsers) is listed on the CSS overview page.
