HTML Styles

The HTML style attribute is used to add styles to an element, such as color, font, size, and more.

Introduction to HTML Styles

HTML styles are used to add design and visual appeal to web pages. Styles control the appearance of elements, including text color, font, size, background, and layout. You can apply styles using inline CSS, internal CSS, or external CSS.

Types of HTML Styles

Inline Styles: Styles are added directly to an HTML element using the style attribute.
Internal CSS: Styles are defined within a <style> tag in the HTML <head>.
External CSS: Styles are stored in a separate CSS file linked to the HTML document.

How to Use HTML Styles

Inline Styles

<p style="color: blue; font-size: 20px;">This is styled text.</p>

Apply styles directly to an element using the style attribute:

Internal CSS

Define styles in the <style> tag within the <head>:

<style>
   p {
        color: green;
        font-size: 18px;
      }
</style>

External CSS

Link to an external CSS file using the <link> tag:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">

Best Practices for HTML Styles

Use external CSS for better code organization and reusability.
Avoid mixing inline styles and external styles to maintain consistency.
Use semantic HTML and CSS classes for scalable designs.
Minimize the use of inline styles for better performance.
