CSS content property : how to add it as a html style attribute?

Question

I found this example:

but instead of p having a separate css stylesheet, I want to do it in one like:

<p style = ":before:content: HELLO">My name is Donald</p>

OR

<p style = :before {content: HELLO}>I live in Ducksburg</p>

Is something like this possible? What is a correct way of doing it? I'm trying to use 'content' CSS property if possible.

No, that is not possible using inline styles. (If you want it “inline”, you could make it _actual_ content of the element in the first place …) — CBroe, Aug 15 '14 at 00:57
However you set the `content` property, its value needs to be quoted. — , Aug 15 '14 at 02:24

You can't set such properties inline.

There was a method in the past, but it no longer works in modern browsers.
