The help system also has a comprehensive set of styling groups
which are not explained here, but many of which are described
along with writing-docs.
Every invocation completely replaces the styling of any previous
invocation, unless -append (short name -a) is
provided, in which case css is appended to its current
value. If css is not provided, any styles beginning with
group are listed.
