Benefits: One file can be used to control multiple documents having different styles. Multiple HTML elements can have many documents, which can have classes. To group styles in composite situations, methods as selector and grouping are used. Demerits: Extra download is needed to import documents having style information. To render the document, the external style sheet should be loaded. Not practical for small style definitions.
Merits of Embedded Style Sheets: Multiple tag types can be created in a single document. Styles, in complex situations, can be applied by using Selector and Grouping methods. Extra download is unnecessary. Demerits of Embedded Style Sheets: Multiple documents cannot be controlled.

HTML cannot produce dynamic output alone but style sheets can produce dynamic output (That means style sheets more than one output pages)
Cascading Style Sheets
Cascading Style Sheets
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) was created by The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) on 17 December 1996.
Style sheets are preferred over the now mainly deprecated presentational attributes because of the desire to separate content and markup from presentation. Presentational attributes have to be set every time you want to use them on an element, whereas with style sheets you declare them once and your done. Also, with style sheets you have more fine-grain control over the style of your site then you could ever achieve with presentational attributes.
(if you mean the style sheet language) Cascading Style Sheets
The abbreviation is CSS
It can be very simple to create a style sheet. The basics of doing it are simple. There is so much that you can do with style sheets, that it takes time to learn more and put it into practice to create more powerful style sheets. Then you can make more complex ones that you can do a lot more with to really enhance your web pages.
