program to understand what is in a css file

what i need to do:

i need to take a rather large css file and understand what each style definition it contains looks like on a page

what i have:

a large style sheet with no documentation

is there a tool that does this already?

otherwise, how would you go about solving this problem (using java)?

Why not create a test html page that uses the styles?

What does "understand" mean? What information are you looking for and what are you going to do with it? http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/SAC/Is this of any help? There's a CSS->DOM parser.
