About

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used to control the presentation of HTML and XML documents, defining layout, colors, typography, and responsive behavior across different devices.

It uses a cascading and specificity model to resolve style conflicts, supports reusable rules and selectors, and includes layout systems such as Flexbox and Grid, media queries for responsive design, and features for animations, transformations, and advanced text formatting.

XHTML Friends Network (XFN) is an HTML microformat that represents human relationships by adding relationship metadata to hyperlinks between websites and profiles.

It defines a set of standardized link relationship values such as friend, colleague, spouse, and acquaintance through the HTML "rel" attribute, and may be used by blogs, social networks, and personal websites to describe social connections in a machine-readable format.
