Style Sheets are the public face of evolution on the Web. They are the exciting new development which facilitate faster, spicier web sites. Up until now web developers wishing to present their pages in anything other than a bland and uninteresting manner have had to resort to all kinds of complex guru tricks and hacks. Any desire for compelling presentation has been required to make heavy use of graphics to ensure satisfactory results. Maintenance has become a nightmare as opposed to a simple routine task. Style sheets solve all of this. Now developers can put all styling information in one place halving the size of files, reducing the need for images and greatly easing the maintenance nightmare. Added to this is the upcoming force of XML which allows developers to custom design their documents and thus requires another form of style sheet: XSL. Professional Style Sheets for HTML and XML is, therefore, the book which charts the future of the Web.

Frank Boumphrey currently works for Cormorant Consulting, a firm that specializes in medical and legal documentation. He started programming in the dark ages of punch cards and machine language. One of his first projects was to help write a program that differentiated between an incoming Soviet ICBM and a flock of geese. The fact that we are reading this is evidence that it probably worked!
Burnt out by thinking in Hexadecimals, he left programming and became a medical doctor, ending up as a Professor and the chief of spine surgery at a large American Midwest institution. Along the way he was involved with the introduction of the MRI to the medical world.
Semi-retirement returned him to his first interest of computing and now he tries to get medical institutions to organize their medical records in a semi rational fashion, and on the side lectures to medical personal and healthcare executives on documentation issues.
Interestingly he is most in demand by legal firms that want to rationalize their medical databases!
His main objective at the present is to help XML to become the language of choice in web documents.
This text looks at ways in which XML allows developers to customize documents and style sheets. The title looks at basic XML, font and text properties, and other style languages to give the web developer a detailed background on style sheets.
