Preview of the next revision of Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 (CSS 2.x)

Abstract

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language that allows authors and users to attach style (e.g., fonts and spacing) to structured documents (e.g., HTML documents and XML applications). By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance.

CSS level 2 defines core functionality for CSS. It extends CSS level 1 and is itself extended by various other CSS specifications, called “CSS modules”.

This note contains the latest revision of CSS level 2 with its errata applied. As such, it is not a specification itself, but a note for the convenience of testers and implementers. As the errata become implemented and tested, new revisions of the CSS level 2 specification are expected to be published. And if those receive new errata, this note will be updated, so as to always contain the latest revision of CSS level 2 with all errata applied.

See the CSS Snapshot for an overview of specifications that make up the whole of CSS.
