HTML Styles
- Styles in HTML are basically rules that describe how a document will be presented in a browser.
- Style information can be either attached as a separate document or embedded in the HTML document.
Example
<html>
<body>
<p>This is normal text</p>
<p style="color:blue;">This is blue text.</p>
<p style="color:red;">This is red text.</p>
<p style="color:green;">This is green text.</p>
<p style="font-size:10px;">This is small text.</p>
<p style="font-size:50px;">This is big text.</p>
</body>
</html>
Note: - Browsers automatically add some white space (a margin) before and after a paragraph.
