For generations, mankind (and probably really smart dolphins) have styled their HTML content using CSS. Things were good. With CSS, you had a good separation between the content and the presentation. The selector syntax gave you a lot of flexibility in choosing which elements to style and which ones to skip. You couldn't even find too many issues to hate the _whole cascading thing_ that CSS is all about. * * * This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at [https://www.kirupa.com/react/styling\_in\_react.htm](https://www.kirupa.com/react/styling_in_react.htm) ---
