Abstract:

One of the wonderful things about CSS is that it allows authors to create media-specific styles for a single document. We’re pretty used to styling for the screen, but thinking about other media isn’t a habit yet. And as all the “printer-friendly” links attest, our thinking about the print medium has been limited to recreating a document in a different way. Why bother, when the power to offer your readers a better view of your material in print is no further away than a well-structured document and a media-specific style sheet?
