 * Hi everyone,
 * i am trying to input the following code into the editor.
    `<style type="text/
   css">#gallery-1 {margin: auto;}</style>`
 * However, when i display it, it is read as text:
    #gallery-1 {margin: auto;}
 * It seems that wordpress automatically remove the <style> tags, as i couldnt find
   it under the html code as well. Can anyone help me? i would like to allow the
   style tags.
 * note: other tags such as div, h1 actually went through with no problem.

 * Is this the only style you added that is an ID and not a class or default element(
   div, h1)?
 * That noted, this is not the manner to include CSS in a WordPress.org site.

 * To discover what CSS is output by your theme, use a web inspection tool such 
   as Firebug: [http://getfirebug.com/](http://getfirebug.com/) , Chrome Inspect

 * When editing CSS, use a Child Theme
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   Custom CSS Plugin, or Theme provided custom CSS option. Edits to parent themes
   are lost on theme update.

 * i understand that it is best to keep all the css under a separate file. however
   in my circumstances, this is unique because these css are generated automatically
   by the wordpress gallery shortcode.
 * When using the shortcode, the text value of the css will appear and does not 
   apply to the gallery itself.

 * You can override any CSS per above.

 * i understand that i can override.
 * but i what i want to know is why is the style tag ignored? what can i do to enable
   the style tag to be recognized in the editor?
