HTML style tag
Note: If you don't know what a tag is and/or how you must use it we recommend you to read our HTML tags and attributes tutorial that you can find in our HTML tutorials section.
The
HTML style tag provides a way to define style rules within the document's
HTML head tag. The style rules may help authors to set visual attributes to the elements.
Example:
Code begin
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p {font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial,helvetica}
p.big {font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial,helvetica}
</style>
</head>Code end
Style information may also be defined in an external file with the help of the
HTML link tag.
Indicates a title for the element. Used to give a short description about the element that is usually shown as a "tool tip" when the user put the mouse pointer over the element.
Example:

|
