In what situations should inline styles in HTML code be avoided?

Inline styles in HTML code should be avoided in situations where you want to separate the content from the presentation, maintain consistency across your website, or make it easier to update styles later on. To solve this issue, you can use external CSS files to apply styles to your HTML elements. This allows you to keep your styles separate from your content and easily make changes to the appearance of your website. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
        <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
```

styles.css:
```css
.container {
    background-color: lightblue;
    padding: 20px;
}

h1 {
    color: darkblue;
    font-size: 24px;
}

p {
    color: black;
    font-size: 16px;
}
