CORE ATTRIBUTE:  style
style="stylecode"
Available in versions: 4.0
HTML 4.0 tag compatibility: All tags except base, basefront, head, html, meta, param, script, style, title
 
The style core attribute is used to create an inline set of style rules that define the appearance and presentation of text and images for a specific element. This is a convenient method for applying the effects of Cascading Style Sheets to a select portion of an entire HTML document. As a consequence, this core attribute is extremely useful.
 
Do not confuse this attribute with the style tag which is placed in the head of an HTML document and can be used to assign a set of style rules that affect the entire page or any portion.
 
In these examples, an inline style script is first used to set the color of the word DevGuru, and then is used to grow the size of the letter a. Note the use of the span tags.
 
Code:
<span style="color: red;">DevGuru</span> products are great!
 
Output:
DevGuru products are great!
 
Code:
<span style="font-size: 2px;">a</span>
<span style="font-size: 4px;">a</span>
