HTML style Tag: Main Tips
- Used within <head> or <body>, HTML
styletags define internal styling for elements. - This styling information contains CSS.
- It might apply to the whole document or a part of it.
- HTML inline styles override externally included CSS, but can be overridden by the
styleattribute.
Defining HTML Inline Style
HTML style tags define CSS styling information that applies to its content:
<head>
<style>
/* This is internal styling */
h1 {
color: indianred;
}
p {
color: red;
}
</style>
</head>You can place HTML style tags in <head> or <body> elements. We'd recommend choosing the first option, as that allows you to keep the content and styling information separate.
Note: you can also use <link> elements to apply styles kept in external stylesheets.
Common style Tag Attributes

media is an optional attribute that defines which media should the styling properties affect. Its default value is all:
type is an optional attribute describing the styling language as a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type. Its default value is text/css:
scoped was a boolean attribute, which set the scope for HTML inline style properties:
Warning: the scoped attribute has been deprecated in HTML5 and should not be used for style in HTML.
