CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is a stylesheet language used to control the layout and
styling of HTML elements in a web page. By utilizing CSS, you can separate the visual
presentation from the document structure, allowing for greater flexibility and consistency in
web design.
Before the existence of CSS, there were attempts to introduce the concept of "stylesheet" in
the form of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language).
CSS Level 1: CSS Level 1 was proposed by Håkon Wium Lie and Bert Bos in 1996. This
version provided the foundation for defining the style of HTML elements using selector
rules and properties.
CSS Level 2: CSS Level 2 was announced in 1998. It brought many improvements and
additions, including support for positioning, floating elements, and media types. CSS
Level 2 also introduced the concept of "cascading," which determines how style rules are
applied in a document.
CSS Level 3: The development of CSS continued with the evolution of CSS Level 3. It is a
progressive specification that adds various new features, including transition effects,
animations, and semantic elements. CSS Level 3 was not released as a single
comprehensive document but as a series of modules updated separately.
CSS Frameworks and Preprocessors: Over time, the emergence of CSS frameworks like
Bootstrap and CSS preprocessors like Sass and Less has assisted web developers in
expediting and simplifying the style development process.
