Cascading Style Sheets is a style sheet mechanism that has been specifically developed to meet the needs of Web designers and users. It is a recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium and enjoys wide industry backing. A CSS style sheet can set fonts, colors, white space and other presentational aspects of a document while still maintaining flexibility and adaptability to make your site optimally accessible. Cascading Style Sheets are supported by web browsers such as Internet Explorer 3.0 and later, Netscape Navigator 4.0 , and the Emacs-w3 browser. The following location provide updated information about Cascade and CSS:

Note that Cascade Light may not operate optimally if used with RamDoubler, SpeedDoubler, or Virtual Memory. You are advised to disable these features if they aren't necessary for using your computer.
QUICK START
Cascade Light is plug & play, so all you have to do is double-click the application icon to start. Here is how to design a simple style sheet and add it to an HTML document:
1. Select "New Style Sheet" from the File menu of Cascade.
2. Change the style settings as you please, by selecting the name of HTML elements in the table and modify the style properties in the dialog.
3. Save the style sheet using Save from the File menu.
4. Use "Add Styles..." from the File menu to add the style sheet to a specific HTML document.
5. Open the HTML document in a web browser that supports CSS.
See the Manual that comes with the distribution for further details about how to use Cascade Light.
THE CSS EDITOR
Cascade is designed to give you full control of Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is a comprehensive style sheet mechanism, so the dialog contains many options compared to simpler style sheet editors.
The left hand of the dialog list "selectors". Selectors are used to connect style with the elements in the HTML document. For example, to set a style for the H1 element, select the H1 selector in the table, then set various style properties using the pop-up menus and other fields found in the dialog.
The pop-up menu in the top of the dialog select a group of properties from font, color/background, text, box margin, box padding, border and classification.
To the right of the group menu is a sample of the current style. It will give you an idea of how the style will appear, but may not correspond exactly with the style as it appears in a browser (as the final style will depend on other style settings and style sheets as well).
Cascading Style Sheets gives you control over more than 40 properties for each selector. In some cases the value of a property is an option selected from a list. In cases where a property can have values of different types, Cascade allow you to select the unit (for example, "length", "percentage", or "absolute size") and provide its value in a modal dialog.
STYLIZING
A very powerful feature of Cascade is that you can stylize a document so that the style sheet takes effect also for older browsers that don't support CSS. This is achieved because Cascade creates a new document where the styles has been applied, resulting in HTML that includes FONT tags and other ways to achieve style. This means that you can immediately benefit from efficient style management with CSS without discarding visitors with older browsers.
To stylize a HTML document, choose Stylize from the File menu. Select a HTML document, then name a result file for the stylized document.
