# [[CSS Add External]]
## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
There are three ways to insert CSS — external, internal, and inline; an external style sheet lets you change the look of an entire website by editing just one `.css` file, referenced from each page via a `<link>` element in the head. [S1]
## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Three ways to insert CSS** — External CSS (link to an external `.css` file), Internal CSS (use the `<style>` element in the head section), and Inline CSS (use the `style` attribute on HTML elements). [S1]
- **External CSS power** — with an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire website by changing just one file. [S1]
- **Reference mechanism** — each HTML page must include a reference to the external style sheet file inside the `<link>` element, inside the head section. [S1]
- **No space before units** — do not add a space between the property value and the unit (e.g. `20px`, not `20 px`). [S1]
## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **Single source of truth** — one external `.css` file linked from many pages centralizes site-wide styling. [S1]
- **Head linkage** — `<link rel="stylesheet" href="…css">` inside `<head>` connects a page to its stylesheet. [S1]
## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
CSS can be added to HTML documents in 3 ways: [S1]
1. **External CSS** — link to an external `.css` file.
2. **Internal CSS** — use the `<style>` element in the head section.
3. **Inline CSS** — use the `style` attribute on HTML elements.
**External CSS** — with an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire website by changing just one file! Each HTML page must include a reference to the external style sheet file inside the `<link>` element, inside the head section. [S1]
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
```
An external style sheet can be written in any text editor and must be saved with a `.css` extension. The external `.css` file (`mystyle.css`) should not contain any HTML tags — it holds only style rules: [S1]
```css
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
h1 {
color: navy;
margin-left: 20px;
}
```
**Note:** Do not add a space between the property value and the unit. [S1]
- Incorrect (space): `margin-left: 20 px;`
- Correct (no space): `margin-left: 20px;`
## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
The page's own example links an HTML page to `mystyle.css`, which styles `body` and `h1`. No external project/commit applications found in the source.
## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Linking an external stylesheet from the head (language: HTML):
```html
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
```
The external stylesheet file (language: CSS):
```css
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
h1 {
color: navy;
margin-left: 20px;
}
```
## ⚖️ 비교 및 선택 기준 (Comparison & decision criteria)

| Internal CSS | `<style>` element in the head section | A single HTML page with a unique style [S1] |
| Inline CSS | `style` attribute on an HTML element | A unique style for a single element [S1] |
