A style sheet is a feature in desktop publishing programs that store and apply formatting to text.[1] Style sheets are a form of separation of presentation and content: it creates a separate abstraction to keep the presentation isolated from the text data.

Style sheets are a common feature in most popular desktop publishing and word processing programs, including Corel Ventura, Adobe InDesign, Scribus, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, WordPerfect, and Microsoft Word, though they may be referred to using slightly different terminology. For example, in Microsoft Word a style sheet is known as a template.[1]

The most well-known form of style sheet is the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS), which is used for styling Web pages.[1]
