Everything between the
<style>
and
</style>
tags is considered part of
the style rules that the browser is to apply when rendering the docu-
ment. Actually, the contents of the
<style>
tag are not HTML or XHTML
and are not bound by the normal rules for markup content. The
<style>
tag, in effect, lets you insert foreign content into your document that the
browser uses to format your tags.
For example, a styles-conscious browser displays the contents of all
<h1>
tags as blue, italic text in an HTML document that has the following
document-level stylesheet definition in its head:
<head>
<title>All True Blue</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
/* make all level-1 headers blue in italics */
