9.10. Summary

This chapter demonstrated a number of techniques for using CSS styles to spruce up the otherwise ordinary text on a Web page. From the basic use of alignment, indentation and other techniques, the chapter demonstrated the use of positioning to create shadowed text effects, and described how to manipulate the display of lists as well.
