One extreme 'style' for a text is 'display:none ', i.e., not displaying it, e.g. Thus, a User: username/monobook.css does not win from MediaWiki:Monobook.css (both author, not user) if the specificity of the latter is greater. Only lastly, it depends on order between and within stylesheets: the last wins. Secondarily, if both are important, the user wins, if neither is, the author wins. In the case of conflicting style settings for a piece of content, the resulting setting depends primarily on the indication '!important'. Similarly, an 'id' may be produced by the software, e.g., bod圜ontent, or taken from the wikitext.
