How to Link CSS to HTML – Stylesheet File Linking

There are several ways to associate a CSS stylesheet with an HTML file:

  • Inlining styles:

    Finally, you can apply styles directly to an element using the style attribute. This is called inlining style. Here's an example:

    <p style="color: red; font-size: 20px;">This paragraph is red and has a font size of 20px.</p>
    
  • Embedding a stylesheet:

You can also embed a stylesheet in your HTML file by using a <style> element in the <head> of the HTML file. Here's an example:

<head>
  <style>
    /* Your CSS rules go here */
  </style>
</head>
  • Linking to an external stylesheet:

You can link to an external stylesheet using the <link> element in the <head> of your HTML file. Here's an example:

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/path/css/styles.css">
</head>

It's generally a good idea to use external stylesheets or embedded stylesheets for most of your styling, as this makes it easier to maintain and reuse your styles across multiple pages. Inlining styles should generally be used sparingly, for example, to override specific styles for a particular element.
