You mean stylesheets? Stylesheets are basically a language called CSS
(Cascade Style Sheet) they are a standard in the web to separate your
styles from your content.

So before it was used to be inline styling like this:

<p><font-color="#FFFFFF">blah blah</font></p>

The problem with this is that imagine you have 40 pages with this and all
of a sudden you decided to change the color for all the page. In
dreamweaver it might be easier but would still be a hard job.

With CSS things become more simple as the coding style is 'referenced'
meaning that you assign certain styles to your tag. So now it would be
like this:

<p>blah blah blah</p>

and on the CSS
p { font-color="#FFFFFF" }

You can have your css either on each page or on an independent file and
just link to it. So those 50 pages realy on just 1 css file. When you
modified that CSS, then all the <p> on the 50 pages are modified.

If the rule is crossed out it means that it *WOULD* have applied, but has
been overruled by some other style.
