Weergavestijlen

Weergavestijlen is a Dutch term that refers to predefined configurations for rendering information or user interfaces. A weergavestijl specifies how content is presented to the user, including visual properties such as typography (font, size, weight), color schemes, spacing, alignment, and layout arrangements, as well as interaction cues in some cases. Weergavestijlen are used to create consistency across a software application, website, or document, and to support different contexts or user needs, such as desktop versus mobile, accessibility levels, or content types.

In practice, weergavestijlen appear as style sheets, themes, view modes, or templates, and are implemented by the underlying rendering system. In web development, for example, they are realized through CSS rules and class names that separate presentation from content. They can be applied globally (site-wide themes) or locally (content-type or view-specific templates). They can also be part of a design system, allowing designers to reuse a limited set of weergavestijlen to maintain visual coherence.

Types and examples:

- Layout styles: grid, list, masonry

- Typography styles: headers, body text

- Color styles: light/dark themes

- Interaction styles: hover, focus, active states
