Adding Style Data

Style instructions can be given in

• <style> tags in HTML page
• link statement in head section of HTML page
• style attribute of any HTML tag

Style declaration for HTML might be internal to page

or given via external link in HTML head section

or specified by style attribute on an HTML tag

Style can also be declared by importing style directives in files.

Stylesheet declarations are given in XML by processing instructions

Where style declarations conflict, internal override external ones.

This is why style sheets in CSS are said to cascade.
