HTML Hypertext Markup Language XHTML is a simple language  Used to create Web pages that appear on World Wide Web Based on an older language  SGML: Standard Generalized Markup Language HTML originally designed to define elements in a document independent of how they would appear XHTML now capable of defining how elements should appear in a browser
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) HTML lacks a proper means of influencing the display of content - It was intended to provide structure. CSS was introduced in the late 1990’s CSS describes how HTML documents should be visually presented while leaving the structural markup clean and meaningful.
Benefits of CSS Style sheets can be applied to any HTML document adding an attractive layer of visual design Separating content from presentation allows both aspects to become stronger and more adaptable. An entire Web site can be redesigned by changing a single style sheet Today’s browsers support CSS!
