Example 2: In this example we demonstrates CSS styling using inline and internal styles. Different elements are styled with varied font families, colors, and alignments for a visually appealing layout.

HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>  <head>     <title>CSS</title>      <!--CSS properties applied inside          this style tag-->      <style>         body {             background-color: #616a6b;         }          h1 {             font-family: commanders;             background-color: yellow;         }          h2 {             font-family: algerian;             background-color: cyan;         }          #first {             font-family: Castellar;             background-color: green;             color: blue;         }          .second {             text-align: right;             background-color: white;             font-size: 30px;             color: red;         }     </style> </head>  <body>     <h1>Hello GeeksforGeeks.</h1>     <h2>Hello GeeksforGeeks.</h2>     <p id="first">Hello GeeksforGeeks.</p>     <p class="second">Welcome Geeks</p> </body>  </html>
