Inline styles are applied directly to individual HTML elements and have the highest specificity, while embedded styles are written in the <style> tag in the <head> section and can apply to multiple elements on the same page. Each style type has its pros and cons regarding reusability, readability, and best use cases.

The difference between embedded and inline styles in CSS lies in where and how the
styles are applied within an HTML document.

1. Inline Style
Applied directly to individual HTML elements using the style attribute.
Affects only the specific element where it is written.
Has the highest specificity (overrides embedded and external styles).
Example of Inline Styling:
<p style="color: red; font-size: 20px;">This is an inline-styled paragraph.</p>
✅ Pros:

Quick and easy to apply to a single element.


Useful for unique, one-time styling.
❌ Cons:

Not reusable (must be repeated for each element).


Makes the HTML file messy and harder to maintain.

2. Embedded Style (Internal CSS)


Written within the <style> tag inside the <head> section of an HTML document.
Applies styles to multiple elements within the same page.
Example of Embedded Styling:
<head>
<style>
p{
color: blue;
font-size: 18px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This paragraph follows embedded styling.</p>
</body>
✅ Pros:

Keeps HTML cleaner compared to inline styles.


Allows reusing styles across multiple elements on the same page.
❌ Cons:

Does not apply styles across multiple HTML files.


Less maintainable than external stylesheets.
