Cascading Style Sheets
Cascading Style Sheets ( CSS ) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language . Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML , but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML , SVG and XUL .
HTML element
An HTML element is an individual component of an HTML document. HTML documents are composed of a tree of HTML elements and other nodes , such as text nodes. Each element can have attributes specified. Elements can also have content, including other elements and text. HTML elements represent semantics , or meaning. For example, the title element represents the title of the document.

An infobox template is an infobox that uses the template software feature. They are a broad class of templates commonly used in articles to present certain summary or overview information about the subject. These boxes are designed to be placed into main articles related to the topic area, usually at the top next to the lead section . They have parameters; to work properly, the parameter values have to be specified when the template is inserted in the page.
Manual of Style (infoboxes)
The MediaWiki software allows use of a subset of HTML5 markup elements or tags and their attributes for presentation formatting. [ 1 ] Many HTML tags may also be included by equivalent wiki markup or templates which are simpler for most editors and less intrusive in the editing window. In normal practice, wiki markup or templates are preferred within articles, but HTML is quite useful for formatting within templates. [ edit ] Tutorials

Cascading Style Sheets allow for flexible formatting of a page. They should be used instead of tables for non-tabular content whenever possible, because they can be manipulated by the reader or overridden by an author if your CSS is embedded in another page via a template . [ edit ] Levels of CSS settings Style may be specified specifically for a piece of content, see e.g. color; scope of parameters
