Notes
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.
CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once.
CSS can be added to HTML documents in 3 ways:
- Inline - by using the style attribute inside HTML elements
- Internal - by using a <style> element in the <head> section
- External - by using a <link> element to link to an external CSS file
An inline CSS is used to apply a unique style to a single HTML element.
An inline CSS uses the style attribute of an HTML element.
<p style="color:red;">A red paragraph.</p>
A red paragraph.
An internal CSS is used to define a style for a single HTML page.
An internal CSS is defined in the <head> section of an HTML page, within a <style> element.
<style>
h1 {color: blue;}
p {color: red;}
</style>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
An external style sheet is used to define the style for many HTML pages.
To use an external style sheet, add a link to it in the <head>
section of each HTML page:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
