CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, are files, provided along with HTML, to style the webpage accordingly.

How to include CSS in your HTML document

There are three different ways that CSS can be added into an HTML document;

<link> tag

The <link> tag must be placed within the <head> of a document.

<html>
   <head>
      <link href="myfile.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
   </head>
   <body>
   </body>
</html>

<style> tag

The <style> tag is used to make CSS declarations directly in the HTML file's <head> tag.

<html>
   <head>
      <style type="text/css">
         div#example {
            color: black;
            height: 50px;
            width: 50px;
         }
      </style>
   </head>
   <body>
   </body>
</html>


style attribute

Most HTML elements can have a style attribute added to them, so CSS may be applied directly to specific elements.

<html>
   <head>
   </head>
   <body>
      <div style="color:black; height:50px; width:50px;">
      </div>
   </body>
</html>
