A master page layout used in document creation systems such as word processing, desktop publishing and the Web. The style sheet is a file that is used to store margins, tabs, fonts, headers, footers and other layout settings for a particular category of document. When a style sheet is selected, its format settings are applied to all the documents created under it, saving the page designer or programmer from redefining the same settings over and over again for each page. Related Term: Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) – A style sheet format for HTML documents endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium. CSS1 (Version 1.0) provides hundreds of layout settings that can be applied to all the subsequent HTML pages that are downloaded.
output: A list of the text styles and format settings you have applied (or intend to apply) to each single paragraph. You can then apply the same style wherever you wish. Best of all, if you make a change in the stylesheet the change is automatically applied to all paragraphs having that style. A wonderful feature of better word processors and all page layout programs.

You can copy style sheets to other compatible software publications and import them from word-processing applications, so you don't have to re-create styles each time you create a publication. Style sheets can save considerable time when you apply and revise text formatting, and they provide a consistent look to your publication.

Term used in desktop publishing and typesetting for the listing of the different styles used in a publication. For example, in the preparation of this book, all chapter headings (name and number of chapter) were identified, with a name and definition of what was to be used for all such headings. The Recommended Reading involved several styles (e.g., the listing of the data about each book cited; the comments made about the book and the subheadings) to insure a consistency of appearance. In page layout programs, a change in a style sheet definition is enacted immediately throughout the publication. My computer has a color monitor, and I used color as a part of each style's definition when working on each section to insure every line, every sentence was properly defined with a desired style.

Web style sheets are a form of separation of presentation and content for web design in which the markup (i.e., HTML or XHTML) of a webpage contains the page's semantic content and structure, but does not define its visual layout (style). Instead, the style is defined in an external stylesheet file using a language such as CSS or XSL. This design approach is identified as a "separation" because it largely supersedes the antecedent methodology in which a page's markup defined both style and structure.
