Like this:
<html>
<head>
<style> some style </style>
</head>
<body> some text </body>
<style> some more style </style>
<body> some more text </body>
</html>
I want to do this because: my cgi sources other files with their own style.
The cgi file contains:
#!/bin/bash
echo "content-type: text/html"
echo ""
echo "<html><head><style>"
echo "h1 {color: red;}"
echo "</style>"
echo "<body>"
echo "<h1> some text here </h1>"
echo "</body>"
source ./data.sh
echo "</html>"
And the source file contains:
echo "<style>"
echo "h2 {color: blue;}"
echo "</style>"
echo "<body>"
echo "<h2> and some other text here </h2>"
echo "</body>"
This seems to work fine. But is it correct ?
At w3schools it says:
Each HTML document can contain multiple <style> tags.
But is it done this way ?

The <style> element must be included inside the <head> of the document.
According to the current spec, yes, style elements must always be in the head . There are no exceptions (except a style element inside a template element, if you want to count that).
CSS can be added to HTML documents in 3 ways: Inline - by using the style attribute inside HTML elements. Internal - by using a <style> element in the <head> section. External - by using a <link> element to link to an external CSS file.
You can use any physical style tag anywhere you can use an item allowed in text. In general, this means anywhere within a document, except in the <title> , <listing> , and <xmp> tags.
According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/style :
"<style>-element can be included inside the <head> or <body> of the document, and the styles will still be applied, however it is recommended that you include your styles in the <head> for organizational purposes"
I think the key-phrase here is "for organizational purposes". So it's not a technical requirement but advise which purports to make your html-source more readable.
