This specification defines Cascading Style Sheets, level 2(CSS2). CSS2 is a style sheet language that allows authors and users to attach style(e. g., fonts, spacing, and aural cues) to structured documents(e. g., HTML documents and XML applications). By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS2 simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance. CSS2 builds on CSS1(see [CSS1]) and, with very few exceptions, all valid CSS1 style sheets are valid CSS2 style sheets. CSS2 supports media-specific style sheets so that authors may tailor the presentation of their documents to visual browsers, aural devices, printers, braille devices, handheld devices, etc. This specification also supports content positioning, downloadable fonts, table layout, features for internationalization, automatic counters and numbering, and some properties related to user interface. 1, record 3, English, - Cascading%20Style%20Sheets%2C%20level%202%20CSS2%20Specification

Cette spécification définit CSS2 : les feuilles de style en cascade, niveau 2. CSS2 est un langage de feuille de style qui permet aux auteurs et aux lecteurs de lier du style (ex. les polices de caractères, l'espacement et un signal auditif) aux documents structurés (ex. documents HTML et applications XML). En séparant la présentation du style du contenu des documents, CSS2 simplifie l'édition pour le Web et la maintenance d'un site. CSS2 est construit sur CSS1 (voir [CSS1]), ainsi toute feuille de style valide en CSS1 est également valide en CSS2 à très peu d'exceptions près. CSS2 prévoit des feuilles de style liées à un média spécifique ce qui autorise les auteurs à présenter des documents sur mesure pour les navigateurs visuels, les synthétiseurs de parole, les imprimantes, les lecteurs en Braille, les appareils portatifs, etc. Cette spécification introduit aussi les notions de positionnement du contenu, de téléchargement des polices, de mise en forme des tables, de fonctions d'internationalisation, de compteurs et de numérotage automatiques et quelques propriétés concernant l'interface utilisateur. 1, record 3, French, - Les%20feuilles%20de%20style%20en%20cascade%2C%20niveau%202%20Sp%C3%A9cification%20CSS2
