Internal style sample

The two paragraphs have a lime background color and navy color for the text.
The style element within the head element looks like this:
<head>
<!-- other stuff omitted; just the style element is shown -->
  <style>
    p
      {
      background-color:  lime;
      color:             navy;
      }
  </style>
</head>
      
Within the style element, I put p which is the name of the paragraph tag.
After the p I put braces { } to contain the properties and their values;
Each property is followed by a colon, then the value, then a semicolon.
The property background-color then the colon then the value lime then the semicolon.
The property color then the colon then the value navy then the semicolon.
Notice I indented and spaced everything neatly, to make it easier to read. This is important in HTML, but even more important in styles.

This is the first paragraph.

This is the second paragraph.
