Abakada HTML Demo: !important Attribute

Generally, styles are applied based on the following order of precedence:

styles declared in a linked stylesheet are applied if there are none other specified.
if styles are specified for the same element or selector in an embedded stylesheet, these styles take precedence.
if an inline style attribute is specified for a particular element, that style takes precedence over all other declared styles.

Because the style for this paragraph has been declared with the !important attribute in an embedded stylesheet, this text will still use that style, even though we specify a different inline style.
