@import url(Projection.css) projection;
@media, at-media
An @media rule is a method of defining a nested block of stylesheet declarations intended for rendering on named media devices. The media types are specified in a comma separated list:
@media print{
P{
font-size: 12pt;
}
H1{
font-size: 16pt;
}
}
