Using CSS to Control Appearance

the appearance of your web page.

Using CSS
Modern websites use CSS to specify layout and appearance of HTML pages Rather than HTML markup.
There are three ways to add CSS Directly inside an HTML start tag Embedded in the <head> section In a separate file
Sharable by many HTML files

Style Rules in <body> Tag
Apply to everything inside the body.
Additional rules can be added in enclosed HTML tags.
Higher level rules can be overridden with additional CSS rules in enclosed elements. When there are differences the applicable
rule is the one closest to the element. This is the meaning of cascading.

Style for the <div>

Embedded Style Rules
CSS rules inside the HTML tags tend to clutter the page. Obscure the structure.
Generally better to embed the style rules in the page head.

Hello, World!
</div>
<div>
Call me Ishmael. Some years ago--never mind how long precisely--
having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular
to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little
and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have
of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation.
Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth;
whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I
find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses,
and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet;
and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me,
that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from
deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking
people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea
as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball.
With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword;
I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this.
If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time
or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards
the ocean with me.
