Unfortunately I didn't know how to name my question correctly.

I saw 2 different implementations on how to import a css file in a html file.

Solution 1:

<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="../styles.css" />

Solution 2:

<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import  "../styles.css";

I would like to know what the difference is and if one solution should be preferred over the other.

Thank you.

Use the first one – Tim Gerhard Mar 14 '18 at 12:31
@TimGerhard Thank you for your comment. And should I include the "profile" line, as is that not necessary for most browsers anymore? – tmighty Mar 14 '18 at 12:35

is enough – Tim Gerhard Mar 14 '18 at 12:37
The "profile" link has nothing to do with stylesheets, so it is irrelevant to this issue. – Mr Lister Mar 14 '18 at 12:41

Anyway, I don't think the linked question mentions this, but the @import rule was only created to cater to situations where you can't change the HTML to add a new , but you can change the CSS. Say in very restricted CMS's and such. – Mr Lister Mar 14 '18 at 12:45
