CSS Cascading Style Sheet!!!

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is used to format the layout of a webpage.

With CSS, we can control the color, font, the size of text, the spacing between elements, how elements are positioned and laid out, what background images or background colors are to be used, different displays for different devices and screen sizes, and much more!!!

Inline CSS

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 .

Example
<h1 style="color:blue;">A Blue Heading</h1>

<p style="color: red;">A red paragraph.</p>

External CSS

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 section of each HTML page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>

<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

The external style sheet can be written in any text editor. The file must not contain any HTML code, and must be saved with a .CSS extension.

Here is what the "styles.css" file looks like:

body {
  background-color: powderblue;
}
h1 {
  color: blue;
}
p {
  color: red;
}
