EXTERNAL CSS
External CSS allows us to define the style for many webpages by using a single CSS file. An external
style sheet is a separate file that can be written in any text editor. It does not contain any HTML
code and is saved with .css as the extension. You need to include a reference to the external style
sheet file within the <LINK> element inside the <HEAD> element. Syntax to include the reference of
the external stylesheet is:
<HEAD>
<LINK REL=“STYLESHEET” TYPE=“TEXT/CSS” HREF=“PATH OF STYLE SHEET”>
</HEAD>
Where the HREF attribute contains the path of the stylesheet.
