Styles within the head

Style specifications like those above can also be included directly within the head of an individual HTML page, with the style specifications enclosed in a <style> element. E.g.,

<style type="text/css">
p { font-family: gill, arial, helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size:80% }
p.intro { color:blue ; font-family: gill, arial, helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size:80% }
</style>

This example specifies that text within paragraphs will be displayed with a small sans-serif font, unless the <p> tag of a paragraph has a class attribute of "intro", i.e., <p class=intro>, in which case the text in the paragraph will be displayed as blue.

Note the possibility (and importance) of specifying alternative font names.
