Book Description
Style Sheets are the public face of evolution on the Web. They are the exciting new development which facilitate faster, spicier web sites. Up until now web developers wishing to present their pages in anything other than a bland and uninteresting manner have had to resort to all kinds of complex guru tricks and hacks. Any desire for compelling presentation has been required to make heavy use of graphics to ensure satisfactory results. Maintenance has become a nightmare as opposed to a simple routine task. Style sheets solve all of this. Now developers can put all styling information in one place halving the size of files, reducing the need for images and greatly easing the maintenance nightmare. Added to this is the upcoming force of XML which allows developers to custom design their documents and thus requires another form of style sheet: XSL. Professional Style Sheets for HTML and XML is, therefore, the book which charts the future of the Web.

Synopsis
This text looks at ways in which XML allows developers to customize documents and style sheets. The title looks at basic XML, font and text properties, and other style languages to give the web developer a detailed background on style sheets.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   A very good book for Style Sheets for XML, 12 April 1999 By A Customer Eventhough CSS1 and CSS2 are covered, the major stress is given for XML and XSL. Using this book I created a number of good XMLized sites. It has good introduction to XML, XSL, CSS1 and CSS2. Eventhough CSS for HTML is covered less when compared to XML, this is a good book.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   This book falls short, 18 Sep 1998 By A Customer This book is simply not standard enough to be entirely useful. It covers way too much XML as opposed to the straight CSS standards. Also, many of the examples don't even work under Netscape 4. This text is too IE4 biased to be that good.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
