• The sets of parallel formatting rules can be maintained in separate style sheets for formatting the output according to the user requirement. For example, an application may provide standard, enlarged-type, and printer-friendly style sheets which can be select by the user at run time.

• If you want to override the global styles then you should use page and inline styles. It depends on page and inline styles which is difficult to maintain the formatting in a Web application.
