Style (2)

Translations

We can specify graphic styles to the XHTML tags. But sometimes it happens that we want to specify a style only a part of paragraph, or maybe for a few paragraphs, but there is no corresponding tag in the text. In such situation, we can use tags „<div>“ and „<span>“. These tags mean nothing per se – if we add them to the text, nothing changes – but we can attach styles to them. We can use them to specify a style for a part of page without corresponding XHTML tag. The „<div>“ tag can contain a few paragraphs; the „<span>“ tag can contain a few words inside of one paragraph.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Miscellaneous styles</title>
<style type="text/css">
div.text_in_frame {
 border: 1px solid red;
}
span.blue_words {
 color: blue;
 
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p>The following text is in a frame.</p>
<div class="text_in_frame">
<p>I like
 <span class="blue_words">rivers, sea, ocean</span>.</p>
<p>Whenever I see a word related to
 <span class="blue_words">water</span>,
 I must write it using a blue color.</p>
</div>
<p>This text was a piece of art.</p>

</body>
</html>

The following text is in a frame.

I like rivers, sea, ocean.

Whenever I see a word related to water, I must write it using a blue color.

This text was a piece of art.
