Thanks for the very meticulous review.

Let me work through some of the references that you provided to get an idea
of what CSS is all about.

Hi Robert,

glad that helped you find a good perspective on docBook :)

Yes that would work, whereby best practice would be
.key_words {color: yellow;}
i.e., ending each statement with a semicolon.

CSS really is very easy.
Don't start with the specs though - you can find a quick introduction at
http://w3schools.com/css/default.asp

You'll find a more solid and in-depth introduction at
http://westciv.com/style_master/house/index.html
There are lots of resources there, including a hands on tutorial and a
more theoretical CSS guide (with detailed descriptions of the types of
CSS selectors and properties).

And another, perhaps more actively maintained reference:
http://reference.sitepoint.com/css

Have fun exploring :)
