Remarks
Do not set the contentStyleType property. If you try to set this property, it causes an error.
Because CSS is the only common language for inline styling, and because CSS is the default language if you do not specify the contentStyleType property, all browsers do not support this property well. As a result, the contentStyleType property and its corresponding attribute are deprecated. You should not use this property in new content. Future versions of the SVG specification might remove this property.
