Stylesheets are a feature common to all large word processing packages. Imagine a large corpus of word processing documents, in which all the captions are formatted in 12pt Times Bold. Due to a relaunched brand, a developer is given the task of changing the font to 14pt Arial.
Without stylesheets, this task would be a chore: In order to change the font, every caption would need to be programmatically selected and edited. With stylesheets, the task can be completed with a few lines of code.
Stylesheets become even more important when several authors are working on the same set of documents, preventing every chapter from being formatted in a slightly different way.
