`media`	`string`	no	`all`	The `media` attribute for the `link` tag.
`head`	`boolean`	no	`false`	Set to `true` to place the output in the `head` area of the HTML page instead of the default behavior (which is to place the output where the function is called from).
`delim`	`string`	no	`,`	The delimiter to use for the list of CSS files.
`encode`	`boolean`	no	`true`	When set to `true`, encodes tag content, attribute values, and URLs so that Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks can be prevented. Set to `attributes` to only encode attribute values and not tag content.
