                 The three ways to use CSS in HTML documents are described below:
                 INLINE CSS

                 An inline style is used to apply a unique style for a single element. Inline styles are added directly to
                 an HTML tag by using the style attribute with the tag. Syntax to use the style attribute with a tag:

                                             <TAGNAME STYLE = “PROPERTY:VALUE;”>
                 For Example:
                 <BODY STYLE=”BACKGROUND-COLOR:RED; COLOR:RED”>
                 TEXT IN RED COLOUR
                 </BODY>
                 INTERNAL CSS

                 Internal CSS allows us to define the style for a single HTML page. It is defined using the <STYLE>
                 tag in the head section of the HTML page.
