WEB DEVELOPMENT SERIES(PART - 3)
This blog is a part of the web development series. If you haven’t gone through the previous parts then please go through them.
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.
There are 3 ways of implementing style in HTML:
- Inline Style: In the this method, the style attribute is used inside the HTML start tag.
- Embedded Style: In this method, the style element is used inside the <head> element of the document.
- External Style Sheet: In this method the <link> element is used to point to an external CSS file.
Inline Style: In Inline styling, the CSS rules are directly written inside the starting tag using the style attribute. The style attribute includes a series of CSS ‘property: value’ pair is separated by a semicolon(;).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="color:Blue;font-size:25px;">
Example of Inline Style
</h1>
<p style="color:red;">First paragraph</p>
<p style="color:green;font-size:40px;">
Second paragraph
</p>
<hr style="border-color:orange;">
</body>
</html>
Output:
Embedded Style: Embedded or Internal style sheets only affect the document they are embedded in. Embedded style sheets are defined in the <head> section of an HTML document using the <style> tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: powderblue;
}
h1 {
color: black;
font-family: arial;
}
p {
color: yellow;
font-family: verdana;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Example of Embedded Style</h1>
<p>First paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Output:
External Style Sheet: External Style Sheets method can be useful when the CSS has to be applied to various web pages. An external style sheet holds all the style rules in a separate document that you can link from an HTML file on your site.
There are two ways of attaching external style sheets –
- Linking External Style Sheets
- Importing External Style Sheets
Linking External Style Sheets :
In this method, an external style sheet is linked to an HTML document using the <link> tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/html/css/externalstyle.css">
</head>
<body>
<h3>Example of Linking External Style Sheet</h3>
<p>First paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Importing External Style Sheets :
External style sheets can be loaded into an HTML document using “@import”. The “@import” statement instructs the browser to load the CSS file. Other CSS rules can also be included using the <style> element.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type = "text/css">
@import url("/html/css/importstyle.css");
p{color:powderblue; font - size : 30px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Example of external style sheet using import</h3>
<p>First paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Supported Browser: The browsers supported by style attribute are listed below:
- Google Chrome
- Internet Explorer
- Firefox
- Opera
- Safari
HTML TEXT FORMATTING
HTML contains several elements for defining text with a special meaning.
HTML Formatting Elements
Formatting elements were designed to display special types of text:
<b>- Bold text<strong>- Important text<i>- Italic text<em>- Emphasized text<mark>- Marked text<small>- Smaller text<del>- Deleted text<ins>- Inserted text<sub>- Subscript text<sup>- Superscript text
HTML <b> and <strong> Elements
The HTML <b> element defines bold text, without any extra importance.
Example:
<b>This text is bold</b>
The HTML <strong> element defines text with strong importance. The content inside is typically displayed in bold.
Example:
<strong>This text is important!</strong>
HTML <i> and <em> Elements
The HTML <i> element defines a part of text in an alternate voice or mood. The content inside is typically displayed in italic.
Tip: The <i> tag is often used to indicate a technical term, a phrase from another language, a thought, a ship name, etc.
Example:
<i>This text is italic</i>
The HTML <em> element defines emphasized text. The content inside is typically displayed in italic.
Example:
<em>This text is emphasized</em>
HTML <small> Element
The HTML <small> element defines smaller text:
Example:
<small>This is some smaller text.</small>
HTML <mark> Element
The HTML <mark> element defines text that should be marked or highlighted:
Example:
<p>Do not forget to buy <mark>milk</mark> today.</p>
HTML <del> Element
The HTML <del> element defines text that has been deleted from a document. Browsers will usually strike a line through deleted text:
Example:
<p>My favorite color is <del>blue</del> red.</p>
HTML <ins> Element
The HTML <ins> element defines a text that has been inserted into a document. Browsers will usually underline inserted text:
Example:
<p>My favorite color is <del>blue</del> <ins>red</ins>.</p>
HTML <sub> Element
The HTML <sub> element defines subscript text. Subscript text appears half a character below the normal line, and is sometimes rendered in a smaller font. Subscript text can be used for chemical formulas, like H2O:
Example
<p>This is <sub>subscripted</sub> text.</p>
HTML <sup> Element
The HTML <sup> element defines superscript text. Superscript text appears half a character above the normal line, and is sometimes rendered in a smaller font. Superscript text can be used for footnotes:
Example:
<p>This is <sup>superscripted</sup> text.</p>
So, now let’s end this blog here and in next blog we will learn some more basics of HTML in brief like HTML Colors and HTML Lists.
