You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.239.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:38, 2 November 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

A '''style sheet''' is a feature in [[desktop publishing]] programs that store and apply [[Text formatting|formatting]] to text.<ref name=":1">https://www.techopedia.com/definition/1276/style-sheet</ref> Style sheets are a form of [[separation of presentation and content]]: it creates a separate [[Abstraction (computer science)|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 Systems|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.<ref name=":1" />

The most well-known form of style sheet is the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS), which is used for styling Web pages.<ref name=":1" />

== Use == 
Individual styles are created by the user and may include a wide variety of commands that dictate how a selected portion of text is formatted:

*[[Typeface]] or [[font]]
*[[boldface|Boldfacing]]
*[[italics|Italicizing]]
*[[underline|Underlining]]
*[[Justification (typesetting)|Justification]] (left, right, center, justify, force justify)
*Space before and after paragraphs
*[[Tab stop]]s and [[Indentation (typesetting)|indentation]]
*Type size
*[[Leading]]
*[[Kerning]]
*[[Tracking (typography)|Tracking]]
*[[Color]]
*Borders or strokes
*[[Superscript]] or [[subscript]]
*[[Dropcap]]s
*[[Letter case]]
*[[Strike through]]
*[[Outline font]] style
*[[Hyphenation algorithm|Hyphenation]]

In most programs with style sheets, there is a window or menu listing the style sheets the user has associated with the document. For example, a newspaper may have a style sheet for its story text called "Body copy" that sets the type at 10 point Nimrod with 11 point leading and justified alignment.

Most programs allow users to name their own styles. Usually easy-to-remember names are used that describe what the style is used for. Common names might include "headline," "subhead" and "byline."

To apply a style to a portion of text, most programs allow users to select the text with their mouse and then click on the desired style in a style panel.

Some programs split style sheets into two classes: paragraph and character.

Paragraph style sheets are applied to an entire paragraph while character styles are applied to only a select number of characters. Character styles are useful when a user needs to format only a small portion of a paragraph. For example, a newspaper may publish lists of current movies by starting with the name of a movie in a bold, [[sans serif]] typeface. Then, without starting a new paragraph, the review starts in the standard story text format. In this case, the designer could highlight the movie title and select the appropriate character style to apply the formatting only to the title. The rest of the paragraph can then be styled independently.

More advanced layout programs allow users to format more complex paragraphs with a single paragraph style. Using our movie review example above, say the newspaper always places a colon after the movie title and runs 10 short movie reviews as one large story. In this case, the style could be programmed to apply the bold, sans serif typeface at the start of a new paragraph until it encounters a colon. After the colon, the style switches to the standard story text style. Therefore, the designer could highlight the entire collection  and apply only one style that will automatically format the entire story without having to go through and apply separate character styles to each of the 10 reviews.

Some [[scorewriter]]s, including [[MuseScore]] and [[Sibelius (software)|Sibelius]], implement style sheets to control the appearance and layout of sheet music.

== Benefits == 
Style sheets help publications maintain consistency, so common elements such as story text, [[headlines]] and [[bylines]] always appear the same. Style sheets also help save time allowing a designer to click once rather than having to apply each element one at a time and risk using an incorrect value.

Finally, style sheets are also useful if a publication decides to make changes to a design - say, make the story text slightly smaller. A user with proper administrative access can make the change to the master style sheet and then "send" the revised style sheets to all users, so the change is automatically reflected.
