I have the below message (slightly changed):
\"Enter the competition by January 30, 2011 and you could win up to $$$$ — including amazing summer tri
use spans. ex) <span style='color: #FF0000;'>January 30, 2011</span>
<p style="font-size:14px; color:#538b01; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">
Enter the competition by <span style="color:#FF0000">January 30, 2011</span> and you could win up to $$$$ — including amazing <span style="color:#0000A0">summer</span> trips!
</p>
The span elements are inline an thus don't break the flow of the paragraph, only style in between the tags.
You can also make a class:
<span class="mychangecolor"> I am in yellow color!!!!!!</span>
then in a css file do:
.mychangecolor{ color:#ff5 /* it changes to yellow */ }
<p style="font-size:14px; color:#538b01; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">
Enter the competition by
<span style="color: #ff0000">January 30, 2011</span>
and you could win up to $$$$ — including amazing
<span style="color: #0000a0">summer</span>
trips!
</p>
Or you may want to use CSS classes instead:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p {
font-size:14px;
color:#538b01;
font-weight:bold;
font-style:italic;
}
.date {
color: #ff0000;
}
.season { /* OK, a bit contrived... */
color: #0000a0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Enter the competition by
<span class="date">January 30, 2011</span>
and you could win up to $$$$ — including amazing
<span class="season">summer</span>
trips!
</p>
</body>
</html>
You could use the longer boringer way
<p style="font-size:14px; color:#538b01; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">Enter the competition by</p><p style="font-size:14px; color:#ff00; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">summer</p>
you get the point for the rest
Tailor this code however you like to fit your needs, you can select text? in the paragraph to be what font or style you need!:
<head>
<style>
p{ color:#ff0000;font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;}
font{color:#000fff;background:#000000;font-size:225%;}
b{color:green;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is your <b>text. <font>Type</font></strong></b>what you like</p>
</body>
