HTML style Tag: Main Tips
- Used within <head> or <body>, HTML
style
tags define internal styling for elements. - This styling information contains CSS.
- It might apply to the whole document or a part of it.
- HTML inline styles override externally included CSS, but can be overridden by the
style
attribute.
Defining HTML Inline Style
HTML style
tags define CSS styling information that applies to its content:
<head>
<style>
/* This is internal styling */
h1 {
color: indianred;
}
p {
color: red;
}
</style>
</head>
You can place HTML style
tags in <head> or <body> elements. We'd recommend choosing the first option, as that allows you to keep the content and styling information separate.
Note: you can also use <link> elements to apply styles kept in external stylesheets.
