Change Infobox From File Type To Programming Language

Should the infobox be changed to a programming language infobox to reflect the fact that CSS, when used with HTML, is a Turing complete programming language that can be used to create complex programs? This would allow adding more information, like what programming paradigm it follows. User1042💬✒️ 16:57, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

A strange statement

The article states:

The style sheet with the highest priority controls the content display. Declarations not set in the highest priority source are passed on to a source of lower priority, such as the user agent style.

I cannot see any sense with the word "not" in the above statement. According to Wikipedia, undefined declarations are passed on to a source of lower priority. Which means that the lack of declarations is passed, then consequently, nothing is passed. Besides, what happens with the declarations that are actually defined? Are they passed on to a source of lower priority or not? The Wikipedia statement suggests that they are not. As a programmer, I use CSS everyday, but if you can enlighten me, please do so. 85.193.240.163 (talk) 11:02, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

User agent styling

Expanding on user agent style sheets could be helpful to better explain the cascade and illustrate where default styling is coming from, especially when pointing to actual user agent style sheets. For example, User Agent Style Sheets: Basics and Samples provides context and style sheets. Although I couldn‘t find an article with more examples, I’m also the owner of this particular one (SME challenge), and therefore like to raise topic and resource here: Could user agent style sheets be worth explaining more? With or without references to sample style sheets? —j9t (talk) 12:06, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

When will there be a CSS 4? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NewestPiano (talk • contribs) 18:45, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

@NewestPiano: See my reply at #Latest release section above. Since the likelihood of a full CSS 3 specification is small, it follows that a CSS 4 spec is even less likely. In short: never. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:21, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

I did now. NewestPiano (talk) 21:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Wait Never?!? NewestPiano (talk) 21:32, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

OK, have a read of CSS Snapshot 2023 section 2.4. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:18, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

New CSS Logo?

CSS appears to be getting a new logo - see here and here. I'm not 100% sure if it's actually official, though, so I'm still hesitant on adding it to the article - I'd like for someone else to doublecheck and ensure that I'm not being an idiot here.

That's my reason for removing it so far. What I would like to see is some secondary source announce or run with it at least once before we as a tertiary source publish it. Remsense ‥ 论 16:44, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

New logo was decided by the CSS4 Community Group under the W3C created on 24 February 2020. According to the W3C, Community Groups are:

A W3C Community Group is an open forum, without fees, where Web developers and other stakeholders develop reports, hold discussions, develop test suites, and connect with W3C’s international community of Web experts. Community Groups may produce Reports; these are not standards-track documents but may become input to the standards process. For instance, a Community Group might gather to work on a new technical specification, or convene to have discussions about a tutorial for an existing specification.

So this is not an official standard, however the committee's existence is so far sanctioned by the W3C. It is important to note though that the CSS4 Community Group is unaffiliated with the CSS Working Group which is the official committee responsible for developing the CSS language.

TL;DR: Is this official? Hard to say, might want to ask the CSS4 CG and CSSWG folks. Kreuner (talk) 19:29, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
