   * Styles define how to display HTML elements. Style sheets are collections of styles.
   * Multiple style sheets will cascade into a single style definition.
-  * Styles can be specified inside an HTML element, inside the <head> element or in an external CSS file - in that order of priority.
+  * There are 3 ways to specify styles (decreasing priority):
-  * CSS syntax is made up of three parts - selector {property: value}.
+    - inline as an element style attribute <code html> <p style="color: sienna>text</p></code>
-    * Multiple property-value pairs may be separated by semi-colons.
+    - in an internal style sheet in the head <code html>
-    * Multiple selectors must be separated by commas
+ <head> <style type="text/css">
-    * Values must be quoted if they are multiple words
+<!--
+hr {color: sienna}

+</style> </head></code>
