Mulder's Stylesheets Tutorial
Lesson 2

Page 1 — Mulder's Stylesheets Tutorial — Lesson 2

Welcome to Lesson 2 of our tutorial on the wondrous language known as cascading stylesheets. After Lesson 1 on the basics of how to use and add stylesheets to Web pages, we can now begin exploring the individual properties that make them more than cool.

Lesson 2 is devoted to fonts: calling them by name, controlling text size, specifying all manner of bolds and italics, and adding special effects. Do you think you can do all these things with existing HTML tags? Well, you can't.

The CSS properties covered in this lesson include:

  • font-family
  • font-size
  • font-weight
  • font-style
  • font-variant
  • text-transform
  • text-decoration
  • font
Let's get started.
