CSS

NEST® GLOSSARY

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It’s what’s known as a stylesheet language and is used to describe how the documents of a page, written in a markup language (HTML) are then actively being presented to the users. This was initially released in 1996 and today considered amongst the critical or ‘essential’ languages of the open web. The ongoing specifications for the CSS language and standards are themselves maintained by the World Wide Web (W3C).
