Lecture Reflection-WEEK 3 - CSS

The lecture for the commencing week was easy and basic. The content of the lecture included Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and The Extensible Style Sheets Language (XSL).
CSS is a style sheet used to style HTML. Style sheets can be external which allows multiple WebPages access to the CSS formatting or it can be internally scripted within the website it is intended to style. CSS can also be used to style XML however has limitations to its ability.
XSL on the other hand, is the style sheet used mainly for XML and is a much more powerful tool for styling then CSS. It allows the usage of XPATH which can be used to handle document components and therefore giving it some programming power. The basic concept is to use CSS with the simple styling and XSL for the more complicated style output.
