Using Basic HTML Tags

Basic HTML tags enable you to place text,
images and links to your HTML document.

Font Tags For Text

There are two ways to change the look
of the text size on the document.

One such way is with Headings.
These tags should only be use to alter
the text size of headings only.
The heading tags will also make the text bold.
These tags are used in pairs.

Here are the 6 choices of headings.

HTML Tag Effect
<H1> and </H1>

Heading 1

<H2> and </H2>

Heading 2

<H3> and </H3>

Heading 3

<H4> and </H4>

Heading 4

<H5> and </H5>
Heading 5
<H6> and </H6>
Heading 6

For text you wish to resize that are not headings.
You would use these font tags.
These tags are used in pairs.

HTML Tag Effect
<FONT SIZE="1"> and </FONT> Size 1
<FONT SIZE="2"> and </FONT> Size 2
<FONT SIZE="3"> and </FONT> Size 3
<FONT SIZE="4"> and </FONT> Size 4
<FONT SIZE="5"> and </FONT> Size 5
<FONT SIZE="6"> and </FONT> Size 6
<FONT SIZE="7"> and </FONT> Size 7

Paragraph And Text Breaks

There are two types of text breaks.
That will break the text to the next line.

First is text break tag <BR>
This will break the text to the very next line.
This can also be used to break an image
to the next line. The <BR> can
be used as many times as you like
to get the desired spacing between items.

Then there is a paragraph break tag <P>
This will start the text onto a new paragraph
or create a single blank line between items.
Note: this tag can only be used once
between items.

Adding Text Color

To add color to your text you will need
to add a new tag to the font tag.

Here are two examples, first using a named color:
