Most Web sites still rely on words to get their messages across. Sure, people like to look at photos, movie clips, and Flash animations, but it's the reading material that keeps 'em coming back. People are hungry for news, gossip, how-to articles, recipes, FAQs, jokes, information lists, and other written content. With CSS, you canand should make your headlines and body text grab a visitor's attention as compellingly as any photo. CSS offers a powerful array of text-formatting options, which let you assign fonts, color , sizes, line-spacing and many other properties that can add visual impact to headlines, bulleted lists, and regular old paragraphs of text (see Figure 6-1). This chapter reveals all, and then finishes up with a tutorial where you can practice assembling CSS text styles and put them to work on an actual Web page. |
