Using HTML with CSS HTML
CSS provides styles to HTML elements on the page. Inline styling involves usage of the style attribute in tags, and is highly discouraged. Internal stylesheets use the <style> tag and are used to declare rules for directed portions of the page. External stylesheets may be used through a <link> tag which takes an external file of CSS and applies the rules to the document. This topic covers usage of all three methods of attachment.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Internal style</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: gray;
color: aqua;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello world</h1>
</body>
</html>Using HTML with CSS.
External Stylesheet Use
Use the link attribute in the document's head:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Internal style</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet_example.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello world</h1>
</body>
</html>You can also use stylesheets provided from websites via a content delivery network, or CDN for short. (for example, Bootstrap):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css"
integrity="sha384BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" crossorigin="anonymous">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<button class="btn btn-danger">click me</button>
</div>
</body>
</html>where rel Specifies the relationship between the current document and the linked document
href Specifies the location of the linked document
integrity Specifies a base64 encoded hash (sha256, sha384, or sha512) of the linked resource allowing the browser to verify its legitimacy and
crossorigin Specifies how the element handles cross origin requests

Internal Stylesheet
You can also include CSS elements internally by using the <style> tag:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: gray;
}
</style>
</head>Multiple internal stylesheets can be included in a program as well.
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: gray;
}
</style>
<style type="text/css">
p {
background-color: blue;
color:white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello i am paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>Inline Style
You can style a specific element by using the style attribute:
<span style="color: red">This text will appear in red.</span>Note: Try to avoid this -- the point of CSS is to separate content from presentation.
Multiple Stylesheets
It's possible to load multiple stylesheets:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="general.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="specific.css">
</head>Note: Note that later files and declarations will override earlier ones. contains
example :- if general.css is
body {
background-color: red;
}and specific.css contains:
body {
background-color: blue;
}if both are used, the background of the document will be blue
