Turns CSS blocks into style attributes

----------------------------------------
Another thing premailer can do for you is to turn relative URLs (e.g.
"/some/page.html" into "http://www.peterbe.com/some/page.html"). It
does this to all `href` and `src` attributes that don't have a `://`
"/some/page.html" into "http://www.peterbe.com/some/page.html"). It does
this to all ``href`` and ``src`` attributes that don't have a ``://``

<a href="/">Home</a>

<img src="/folder/">Folder</a>

Ignore certain `<style>` or `<link>` tags

Ignore certain ``<style>`` or ``<link>`` tags
---------------------------------------------
Suppose you have a style tag that you don't want to have processed and
transformed you can simply set a data attribute on the tag like:
```html
<head>
<style>/* this gets processed */</style>
<style data-premailer="ignore">/* this gets ignored */</style>
</head>
```
.. code:: html
<head>
<style>/* this gets processed */</style>
<style data-premailer="ignore">/* this gets ignored */</style>
</head>
That tag gets completely ignored except when the HTML is processed, the
attribute `data-premailer` is removed.
attribute ``data-premailer`` is removed.
It works equally for a `<link>` tag like:
It works equally for a ``<link>`` tag like:

```
.. code:: html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="foo.css" data-premailer="ignore">
</head>
HTML attributes created additionally
------------------------------------
Certain HTML attributes are also created on the HTML if the CSS
contains any ones that are easily translated into HTML attributes. For
example, if you have this CSS: `td { background-color:#eee; }` then
this is transformed into `style="background-color:#eee"` AND as an
HTML attribute `bgcolor="#eee"`.

if you have this CSS: ``td { background-color:#eee; }`` then this is

Having these extra attributes basically as a "back up" for really shit
email clients that can't even take the style attributes. A lot of
professional HTML newsletters such as Amazon's use this.
You can disable some attributes in `disable_basic_attributes`
