The style attribute specifies the style, i.e. look and feel, of the <q> element.
A style contains any number of CSS property/value pairs, separated by semicolons (;).
The style attribute overrides any other style that was defined in a <style> tag or an external CSS file.
This inline styling affects the current <q> element only.
<q style="CSS-styles">

<button onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>
<script>
let toggle = () => {
let element = document.getElementById("myq");
if (element.style.backgroundColor === "cornsilk") {
element.style.backgroundColor = "moccasin";
} else {
element.style.backgroundColor = "cornsilk";
}
}
</script>
The style attribute assigns a background color to the <q> element.
Clicking the button calls JavaScript which toggles the background to another color.
