Ruleset Terms (Use in 'style.css')
Inline Style Terms (Use in 'doc_name.html')
Value: The second part of the declaration that signifies the value of the property.
The CSS declaration block is a fundamental part of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). It is used to style HTML elements. It consists of one or more declarations enclosed in curly braces {}. Each declaration includes a CSS property and a value, separated by a colon : and ending with a semicolon ;.
Below, there is a sample CSS Statement showing a break-down of the syntax and values used. Below that is a table with "Ruleset Terms", which are used in your 'style.css' sheet (name the sheet as you like); and "Inline Style Terms", which can be used in "Inline" styling. Please keep in mind - "Inline" styling is not recommended among the web developer community.
One of the benefits of CSS is about separating presentation from markup.
Also, using a bunch of inline styling can make it a real pain for mainting your website. It's much easier to change an element once in your Stylesheet, than it is to manually go in and update each element's style if you used Inline Styling.
