Extremely Early CSS?: Please leave out the OT stench

Hi:

I posted a new thread on the same subject because some sick kakaa-
holes decided to add off-topic kakaa.

Please answer this thread rationally.

What was the earliest version of CSS [Cascading Style Sheets]?

What type of CSS was used in 1990? In the 80s? Before?

What CSS was used -- if at all -- with Windows 3.0*? With DOS? With
Apple II?

*When I say Windows 3.0, I mean exactly Windows 3.0. Not Windows 3.0a.

Please note that these are not homework questions but questions out of
my own interest in CSS, computer history, web design, and internet
history.

No offense but please respond with reasonable answers & keep out the
jokes, off-topic nonsense, taunts, insults, and trivializations. I am
really interested in this.


Thanks for your assistance,

Radium

If you expect reasonable answers, spend the thirty seconds it would take to
avoid making a complete fool of yourself.

If you're really interested in internet-history, you will probably have
heard of a site called 'google'.
It's a great tool for finding answers to questions.


Quote from the W3C-site:
"This is chapter 20 of the book Cascading Style Sheets, designing for
the Web, by Håkon Wium Lie and Bert Bos (2nd edition, 1999, Addison
Wesley, ISBN 0-201-59625-3)

The saga of CSS starts in 1994. "

However, according to the same book, as early as *1993* there was talk
of some sort of stylesheet.


The whole concept of stylesheets and CSS is tied to the development of
the web (WWW), browsers and HTML. It has nothing to do with Windows.



You could have found out al this (and much more) by just
searching on the internet, using the relevant keywords.

....where "you" is used in the sense of "one" or "a person". So:
One could have found out...

I am not at all sure that _Radium_ could have.

If you care about the history of CSS, then read Hakon Lie's PhD thesis
(it's free and online). It's a historical survey of the many
stylesheet precursors, their pros and cons, and how CSS came to have
the set of features that it has. Most interestingly, it describes just
what was deliberately _omitted_ from CSS, and why.


This is an excellent question, even if Radium is clearly just a kook.
