RE: Inline Style Sheet Question

Sorry this may be my lack of knowledge on style sheets, but what if
there is one word in the paragraph that needs to have a different style?
But by default the <p> tag creates a break after the closing </p>. So if
I created two separate styles in my style sheet for the <p> tag, how
would I remove the break?

 

P {

      Color: red;

} 

P.bold {

      Font-weight: bold;

}

 

<p>here is my</p><p class="bold">paragraph.</p>

For example, the previous code would be displayed as:

 

Here is my

 

paragraph. 

 

I understand that I could use a <span> tag around the word 'paragraph'.
But how would I use the style sheet if it is an abuse of style sheets to
create my own class (ex. .red)?

No.  You must, at the same importance level, have at least as many
selectors

for that attribute, e.g. p { color: red } would override, but {color:
red}

would not.  !important would cause an override because the author hasn't

used it.
