Abstract
A computer-implemented method of managing an appearance of electronic documents includes defining a first style sheet, the first style sheet including a style, the style including an attribute and a value associated with the attribute. The defined first style sheet, the attribute and the value may then be stored in a database driven repository at a first identified location. A first linking statement referencing the identified first location may then be generated. The generated first linking statement may then be embedded in a first electronic document such that when the electronic document is rendered, execution of the first linking statement causes the stored first style sheet to be accessed at the identified location and the style included in the first style sheet applied to the first electronic document.
