HTML style Tag
Web structure starts with solid HTML. Learn how HTML style Tag contributes to accessible and semantic web pages in the tutorial below.
HTML Style is implemented to modify or include style to current HTML elements. Each HTML element comes with a preset style, such as a white background color and black text color.
The style attribute is compatible with all HTML elements. To implement styling on an HTML element, a fundamental understanding of CSS properties is necessary, such as color, background-color, text-align, font-family, font-size, and more.
The syntax of style attribute is given below:
style= "property:value"
HTML Style color
The color attribute is employed to specify the color of the text.
Let's explore a basic illustration of applying CSS's color property to style HTML elements.
<h3 style="color:green">This is Green Color</h3>
<h3 style="color:red">This is Red Color</h3>
Output:
This is Green Color
This is Red Color
HTML Style background-color
The background-color attribute is utilized to specify the background color for the HTML element.
Let's explore an illustration of formatting an HTML element using the CSS background-color attribute.
<h3 style="background-color:yellow;">This is yellow background</h3>
<h3 style="background-color:red;color:white">This is red background</h3>
Output:
This is yellow background
This is red background
HTML Style font-family
The font-family property defines the font family for the HTML element.
Let's examine a demonstration of styling an HTML element using the CSS font-family attribute.
<h3 style="font-family:times new roman">This is times new roman font family</h3>
<p style="font-family:arial">This is arial font family</p>
Output:
This is times new roman font family
This is arial font family
HTML Style font-size
The font-size attribute is utilized to specify the text dimensions of the HTML element.
Let's see an example of font-size property
<h3 style="font-size:200%">This is 200% h3 tag</h3>
<p style="font-size:200%">This is 200% p tag</p>
Output:
This is 200% h3 tag
This is 200% p tag
HTML Style text-align
The text-align attribute is employed to specify the horizontal alignment of text within an HTML element.
Let's explore an illustration of formatting an HTML element using the CSS text-align attribute.
<h3 style="text-align:right;background-color:pink;">This text is located at right side</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;background-color:pink;">This text is located at center side</p>
If you wish to align a heading in the center or to the left, apply "text-align:center" or "text-align:left" correspondingly.
Output:
This text is located at right side
This text is located at center side
HTML5 doesn't support <center> tag which is supported in older version of HTML.
