"The Ultimate CSS Reference"


We specify the output media using the predefined media types shown in Table 1.1.
Table 1.1: Media Types
Description Media Type
applies to all media "all"
Braille/tactile feedback devices "Braille"
paged Braille printers "embossed"
handheld devices "handheld"
paged media and print preview mode on the screen "print"
projected presentation (used by Opera in full-screen mode) "projection"
color computer screens "screen"
speech synthesizers (see the note below) "speech"
media with a fixed-pitch character grid "tty"
television-type devices "tv"
7 What Is CSS?
Using one or more external style sheets is generally considered to be the best practice,
as it enforces the desirable separation between content and presentation.
Should each style sheet be specific to one output medium, or should you have a
single style sheet and use @media at-rules (p. 51) to specify styles for different
output media? The answer to that question depends, primarily, on how differently
the content will be presented in different media.
