Formatting
Text
The body section contains any text, images, links
etc.
that you want the browser to display. HTML provides
a variety of tags to enhance the look of your web page,
some of these are shown below.
Headings
There are six levels of headings. Level 1
is the largest while level 6 is the smallest, as shown
below.
<H1>Heading level 1</H1> |
Heading
level 1 |
<H2>Heading level 2</H2> |

<H3>Heading level 3</H3> |

<H4>Heading level 4</H4> |

Breaking up
To break up your blocks of text, HTML employs
the tags <P> ... </P> and <BR>.
This is because, any carriage returns or empty lines
within your HTML code are ignored!
For example,
|
... would be displayed as, |
Welcome to the
World Wide Web. |
Welcome to the World Wide Web.
|
However, if you place the
tag <BR>
like so,
|
... would be displayed as,
|
Welcome to the<BR>
World Wide Web. |
Welcome to the
World Wide Web. |
To include a paragraph break
within a block of text, the tag <P> should be used. This tag can also control
the justification of the paragraph using the ALIGN="" attribute.
For example,
|
... would be displayed as, |
<P ALIGN="LEFT">
Welcome to the World
Wide Web
</P> |
Welcome to the World Wide Web |
<P ALIGN="CENTER">
Welcome to the World
Wide Web
</P> |
Welcome to the World Wide Web |
<P ALIGN="RIGHT">
Welcome to the World
Wide Web
</P> |
Welcome to the World Wide Web |
Horizontal Rule
You are not just restricted to breaking up
your blocks to text with whitespace. The <HR>
tag can be used to produce a horizontal line the width
of the browsers window. A rule's size and width can
be set using the attributes SIZE= (thickness of line) and WIDTH= (as a percentage of the browser window).
The horizontal rule is automatically centered, although
you can use the ALIGN="" attribute if you wish.
For example,
<HR SIZE=4 WIDTH="75%">
For example,
<HR SIZE=2 WIDTH="50%" ALIGN="RIGHT">
Text emphasis
Like a word processor, HTML allows you to
emphasis portions of text as bold, underlined and italic. Many "special effects" can also
be applied such as blink, subscript, superscript and
typewriter.
For
example,
<B>
This text is bold
</B> |
...
would be displayed as,
This text is bold |
<U>
This text is underlined
</U> |
This text is underlined
|
<I>
This text is in italics
</I> |
This text is in italics
|
<BLINK>
This text is blinking
</BLINK> |
|
<SUB>
This text is subscript
</SUB> |
This text is subscript
|
<SUP>
This text is superscript
</SUP> |
This text is superscript
|
<TT>
This text is typewriter
</TT> |
This text is typewriter
|
<FONT SIZE=7>

</FONT> |

<FONT SIZE=1>
