CHARACTER FORMATTING
These HTML tags will change the "look" of the text on a page. The first group does not affect the font; the second group will.
<![CDATA[
<strong> = makes text bold< </strong> (also <b></b>)
<em> = italics, for emphasis </em> (also <i></i>)
<u> = underline </u>
<code> = monospaced characters </code> (also <tt></tt>)
<big> = enlarge the text </big>
<small> = reduce the text </small>
]]>
The <font> tag is very useful for making your text stand out. Two common attributes of this tag are size and color, and they may be used separately or together.
<![CDATA[
<font size="+2">= text is two sizes larger (default is 3; sizes run from 1 to 5)
<font size="1"> = text is very small
<font color="red">
<font color="blue" size="4">
]]>
Exercise:
