HTML Styling
Every HTML element has a default style (background color is white and text color is black).
Changing the default style of an HTML element, can be done with the style attribute.
Example
<body style="background-color:lightgrey">
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
 | The bgcolor attribute, supported in older versions of HTML, is not valid in HTML5. |

The HTML Style Attribute
The HTML style attribute has the following syntax:
style="property:value"
The property is a CSS property. The value is a CSS value.
| You will learn more about CSS later in this tutorial. |

HTML Text Color
The color property defines the text color to be used for an HTML element:
Example
<h1 style="color:blue">This is a heading</h1>
<p style="color:red">This is a paragraph.</p>
<p style="color:red">This is a paragraph.</p>
HTML Fonts
The font-family property defines the font to be used for an HTML element:
Example
<h1 style="font-family:verdana">This is a heading</h1>
<p style="font-family:courier">This is a paragraph.</p>
<p style="font-family:courier">This is a paragraph.</p>
| The <font> tag, supported in older versions of HTML, is not valid in HTML5. |

HTML Text Size
The font-size property defines the text size to be used for an HTML element:
Example
<h1 style="font-size:300%">This is a heading</h1>
<p style="font-size:160%">This is a paragraph.</p>
<p style="font-size:160%">This is a paragraph.</p>
HTML Text Alignment
The text-align property defines the horizontal text alignment for an HTML element:
Example
<h1 style="text-align:center">Centered Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
| The <center> tag, supported in older versions of HTML, is not valid in HTML5. |
