You can start to see what a Style Sheet looks like with the second mechanism, embedding. Using this approach, we gather all the style declarations together inside a style element in the head of our document. It'll look something like this:. Our style instructions need a bit more detail than before, though.
We might have declared color: red , but what should have that color? This is where CSS selectors come in. They allow us to target specific parts of the page and define their style in one place, using this syntax:. In this example, the selector is simply p , which matches all paragraph elements in our document.
The final method to cover is linking. This is, by far, the most useful approach, and one that you should opt for most of the time. Instead of embedding CSS rules in the style element directly in your document, you can move them out to a separate file. All the semantic information—what the content means—is contained in the HTML document.
The styling—what it looks like—is in a separate file, the style sheet. The cascade is what decides which styles to use when multiple style sheets are present.

CSS Tutorials Our CSS learning area contains a wealth of tutorials to take you from beginner level to proficiency, covering all the fundamentals. If you intend to change the color of a single heading to red, then inline CSS might be a good option.
A niche case, as mentioned above, would be when creating HTML layouts primarily consisting of tables an outdated practice. If you intend to coat all h2 elements on a web page with the color yellow. However, a more efficient way of accomplishing this task is to use internal CSS.
Internal CSS is separated from the HTML code, and this makes the method more efficient because it facilitates the targeting various element groups.
