Tags.
Writing HTML

tags. Closing tags use the same command
word preceded by a slash:

Text Tags
Bold text:

It will show up on your page like:
Italics:
Hello
<I></I>
Example: <I>Hello</I>
It will show up on your page like:
Hello
Underline text: <U></U>
Example: <U>Hello</U>
It will show up on your page like:
Center text:
Hello
<CENTER></CENTER>
Font Size and Color
<FONT SIZE="x">text to change</FONT>
"x" will be replaced by a number with a + or - sign in front of it
Examples:
<FONT SIZE=“+2”>Text to make bigger</FONT>
It will show up on your page like:
Text to make bigger
<FONT SIZE=“-2”>Text to make smaller</FONT>
It will show up on your page like:

Font Size and Color
<FONT COLOR="color"> </COLOR>
We replace “color” with a color name or hexadecimal color value

It will show up on your page like:

Font Size and Color
You can also use size and color declarations
inside the same tag:
<FONT SIZE=“+2” COLOR=“red”>Hello</FONT>
It will show up on your page like:
Hello
Headings
Six levels of headers – lowest numbers are
largest font.
<H1>My favorite websites</H1>
Headers can ALIGN center, right or left.
<H2 ALIGN=center>Spring 2004</H2>
Paragraphs
New paragraph: <P> </P> (can also ALIGN right, left, or center)
The paragraph tag does not require a closing tag since it will end
whenever a new paragraph tag is encountered.
Example:
<P>
This is Paragraph 1
<P>
This is Paragraph 2
=
<P>
This is Paragraph 1
</P>
<P>
This is Paragraph 2
</P>
Line breaks and extra space
•

•
The tag for a line break is <BR>.
When you insert this tag in your document,
the contents will go to the next line.
The <BR> tag does not need a closing tag
Example:
Hello<BR>Hello again!
It will show up on your page like:
Hello
Hello again!
Line breaks and extra space
Space: &nbsp;
Example: To place 3 additional spaces
between “Hello” and “World!”
Hello &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;World!
