Remember that the syntax for specifying a characteristic has the form

{characteristic: value}

Multiple characteristic/value pairs should be separated by semicolons. For example:

P {font: 14 pt Times New Roman; line-height: 16 pt; color: black}

---

CAUTION:  

When you first start to work with style sheets, you may be tempted to use the syntax “characteristic=value. “ Make sure you use the “{characteristic: value}” syntax previously noted.

The Cascading Style Sheet specification enables you to specify more than fonts, typefaces, and colors. Table 9.1 lists the different font and block level style attributes you can assign to a file containing style information.
