Developing with the SDK > Using CSS Syntax in the Style Sheet > The CSS Syntax > Declaration

Declarations are key-value couples. The separator is a colon (:). Each declaration is terminated by a semicolon (;). The key should represent a predefined graphic attribute (foreground, size, font, and so forth) and the value is a literal whose type depends on the key (such as red, 10pt, or serif). All key-value pairs are String. It is recommended that you quote values with quotation marks " " or single quote marks ' ' when the values contain nonalphanumeric characters.
