A class may be produced by the software, e.g., ns-namespace number for the HTML-element "body", and extiw for an interwiki link in the page body, or taken from the wikitext. Similarly, an ID may be produced by the software, e.g., bodyContent, or taken from the wikitext.
The code CSS is non-XML syntax to define the style information for the various elements of the document that it styles. The language to structure a document (markup language) is a prelimit to CSS. A markup language, like HTML and less XUL, may define some primitive elements to style a document, for example <emphasis> to bold.
A web style sheet is a form of separation of content and presentation for web design in which the markup (i.e., HTML or XHTML) of a webpage contains the page's semantic content and structure, but does not define its visual layout (style). Instead, the style is defined in an external style sheet file using a style sheet language such as CSS or ...
For example, an HTML element "span" without content can, through its class and id, provide parameters for JS specifying CSS for any parts of the page. For example, if a page contains a "span" element with class FA and id lc, MediaWiki:Monobook.js specifies the style and title of elements "li" of class interwiki-lc, thus controlling the style ...

CSS2 in May 1998 (later revised in CSS 2.1 and CSS 2.2) extended CSS1 with facilities for positioning and table layout. The preference for using HTML tables rather than CSS to control the layout of whole web pages was due to several reasons: the desire of content publishers to replicate their existing corporate design elements on their web site;
The difference in how width is interpreted between the W3C and Internet Explorer box models. Before HTML 4 and CSS, very few HTML elements supported both border and padding, so the definition of the width and height of an element was not very contentious. However, it varied depending on the element.
The indented syntax of Less is a nested metalanguage, as valid CSS is valid Less code with the same semantics. Less provides the following mechanisms: variables, nesting, mixins, operators and functions; the main difference between Less and other CSS precompilers is that Less allows real-time compilation via less.js by the browser.
