How to apply inline CSS style to an HTML element in an HTML page

Inline CSS Style

Inline CSS style is the practice of applying CSS style directly to individual HTML elements using the "style" attribute.

For inline CSS style, you need not to create separate CSS file or use a style tag in the document's head.

You can apply CSS style to the specific element within its HTML tag.

How to Add Inline CSS Style to an HTML Element

First create a paragraph element as shown below:

<p>You can use the style attribute within an HTML element to apply CSS directly to that specific element.</p>

In the opening tag of the paragraph element, add style="" attribute.

Set value color: red; font-size: 18px; to the style attribute to define text color and font size of the paragraph element.

style="color: red; font-size: 18px;" is the complete code of inline CSS style for the paragraph element.
