If I put in a new

tag eg:

<p>lorem ipsem blah blah blah <p class="special-colour">special phrase</p><p> lorem ipsem blah blah blah</p>

I get linefeeds which is not what I want.

Also do I need to explicitly return to the style that I was using or will it be assumed unless overridden by the class=”foo-bar” attribute?

I realise that question probably goes to specificity which I’m yet to get on top of, since I don’t really know what hierarchies naturally exist in HTML/CSS documents, I’m just wading into it all ATM.

    Use a <span>:

    <p>first part <span class="special-colour">special phrase</span><p> next part</p>

    it’s an “inline” element so will not cause a line feed.

    And yes, the next part text will automatically “revert” to the style applied to the p element.

    Your css for the span would be something like:

    span.special-colour {
    color: #ff7766;
}

    Also, I can tell you are a UK-English speaker – be very careful with your use of color vs. colour !
