B.2. Style Selectors

Once you have determined the visual properties you'd like, you must select the element or elements to which they apply. The simplest way to apply a style specification to a single element is to make that specification the value of a style attribute. So, if you want the preceding specification to apply to a particular <circle> in your document, you write:

<circle cx="50" cy="40" r="12"
    style="stroke: red; stroke-width: 3px; fill: #ccccff;"/>
