Inline Style Sheet

                 An inline style is used to apply a unique style for a single element. It allows you to create and apply
                 a style on the element. Syntax to create an inline style is:

                 <element style = “property1:value1; property2:value2; … ….”>

                 Where, element is any valid HTML tag and the style is the global attribute of HTML used by all the
                 tags of HTML. The style attribute contains all the CSS properties and their values within double
                 quotes. For example:

                 <body style=”background-color:green; color:white”>
                 Text in white colour

                 </body>

                 Internal Style Sheet

                 CSS design can also be applied into an HTML document by using <STYLE> tag. This tag should be
                 placed inside the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags. An internal style sheet is commonly used when one
                 web page has a unique style. For example:

                 <head>

                 <style>
                 body{background-color:green; color:white;}

                 </style>
                 </head>

                 <body>

                 Text in white colour
                 </body>

                 External Style Sheet

                 In case of external stylesheet, the CSS styles are written in a separate file which is saved with .css
                 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 external stylesheet is:

                 <head>

                 <link rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” href=“name of style sheet”>
                 </head>

                 Where, HREF attribute contains the path of the stylesheet. For example, if you have saved the file in
                 which styles are written with the name style.css, then the code will be:
                 <head>

                 <link rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” href=”style.css”>

                 </head>

                                                                                             HTML5 & CSS3     145
