Avoid Using the "style=" attribute
The "style=" attribute, while better than the older <font> tag,
still has many limitations. For example, if you use it to display the
boss's words in yellow text, then decide later boss's words should also be
italicized, you would have to change ALL the style commands again.
Instead of using the "style=" attribute, define the appearance of HTML
tags and "text classes" in the style sheet. Then use the "class="
attribute in your tags if necessary. That makes it easier to change the
appearance of the text later because you just have to change the style
sheet, not all the individual tags.
