+<h2>stylesheet()</h2>
+<p>The stylesheet() function simplifies the linking of CSS into your document. The arguments are stylesheet(href, optional rel, optional title, optional media).</p>
+<p>For more complete control over the output of the tag, you may want to use the link() function.</p>
+<code>stylesheet('foo.css');<br />
+    // &lt;link href=&quot;http://site.com/foo.css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;screen&quot; /&gt;<br />

+</code>
 <h2>nbs()</h2>
 <p>Generates non-breaking spaces (&amp;nbsp;) based on the number you submit. Example:</p>
 <code>echo nbs(3);</code>
