Hi John,

All my instincts tell me that you can use the latest CSS available, as this should be dependent on what CSS classes a browser can recognize, not what Confluence is attuned to. If CSS 4.0 came out tomorrow, you'd reference the docs and I'd wager 90%+ would be the same as CSS 3.0, but there'd be some new classes there you could utilize, if the browsers rendering the css understand it.

This is my understanding of it anyways. Hope this helps!

Thanks, @Ryan Goodwin. Definitely helps.

Hi, CSS2 and CSS3 (if referring to the HTML related standard) depends on what browsers you are aiming to support.

According to https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF50/Supported+Platforms IE8 is still supported, so if you need IE8 support it might be best to stick with CSS2 or do feature detection for it.

@Harry Chan - Thanks, sir. (CSS is new to me, so I appreciate this detailed info.)
