After reading this chapter, you’ll be able to do the following:

• List the six elements that define substyles for a KML feature.

• Create a shared style that makes all polygons the same color.

• Determine “who wins” when both a shared style and an inline style specify different values for the same SubStyle element.

• Create a simple custom <BalloonStyle>.

• Create a <StyleMap> that affects the appearance of an icon when the user mouses over it.
