This course is designed to equip learners with the practical skills needed to style and format XHTML content using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Through structured, hands-on modules, learners will explore both foundational and advanced techniques to enhance web page typography and layout. The course begins by introducing core CSS syntax and color systems and progresses to font families, text alignment, decorative properties, and class-based styling applications.

By analyzing real XHTML examples and applying a wide range of text styling properties, learners will gain confidence in separating content from presentation, ensuring clean, scalable, and accessible web design. Through examples and exercises, students will identify, apply, and demonstrate CSS rules that control the visual representation of text, empowering them to build visually appealing and standards-compliant web interfaces.

This module introduces learners to the foundational principles of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) within XHTML documents. It emphasizes how CSS is used to control presentation, including color, typography, and basic text formatting. Through practical examples, learners will gain proficiency in manipulating text appearance using fonts, units of measurement, and fallback strategies, preparing them to design visually engaging, standards-compliant web pages.
