Declaration Grouping
[IE3B1 | N4B2 ]

Multiple Declarations [ {Property: Value} pairs] can be specified for a single Selector by separating them with semicolons.
Example:
H1 {
   font-weight: bold;
   font-size: 12pt;
   line-height: 14pt;
   font-family: helvetica;
   font-style: normal;
   }

Special Style Property Name Groupings
[IE3B1 | N4B2 ]

Some Style Sheet Properties are shorthand notations for specifying several properties at once. By using special property notations, multiple values are concatenated together in the Font, Background, List-Style, Margin, Padding, Border and Border-Width properties to save an author time and space.
Shorthand Properties
font: font-size, line-height, font-family
background: background-color, background-image, background-repeat, background-attachment, background-position
list-style: list-style-type, list-style-image, list-style-position
margin: margin-left, margin-right, margin-top, margin-bottom
