Revision 980941 of style

<div>{{HTMLSidebar("Global_attributes")}}</div>

<p>The <strong>style</strong> <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes">global attribute</a> contains <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS">CSS</a> styling declarations to be applied to the element. Note that it is recommended for styles to be defined in a separate file or files. This attribute and the {{HTMLElement("style")}} element have mainly the purpose of allowing for quick styling, for example for testing purposes.</p>

<div class="note">
<p><strong>Usage note: </strong>This attribute must not be used to convey semantic information. Even if all styling is removed, a page should remain semantically correct. Typically it shouldn't be used to hide irrelevant information; this should be done using the <a href="#attr-hidden"><strong>hidden</strong></a> attribute.</p>
