More Basic HTML Today you will learn how to… Add spacing (single & double space) Save Refresh Add horizontal rule Add comments Add styles Add headings Add features Add alignments Add font Add color
Spacing Add white space to the Web Page which affects its structure and layout as well as helps with readability. A web browser is a free-form document meaning that any spaces or blank lines have no effect on the browser unless they are “TAGGED”.
Spacing Continues On the Notepad, you can actually use the spacebar, return & tab keys to type the tags, text and the different sections. BUT the Browser will IGNORE all of this. everything will be as 1 long single spaced line or paragraph.
Spacing Tags: Line Break: <br> isn’t a set; used to break the line without putting a space between the lines, acts like a Single Space. Paragraph: <p> </p>; used to add space between paragraphs, acts like a Double Space. Horizontal Rule: <hr> isn't a set; adds a visible horizontal line, used to make sections. You can use as many spacing tags as needed.
Comment Tag When you want to add notes or comments to a section or the entire web page use this tag <!--comment--> It doesn’t show up in the browser. Comments should be short. Can be used anywhere in the document.

Adding Some Style & Heading
Style Tags <b> </b> - bold text <u> </u> - underline text <i> </i> - italic text
Heading Tags Are used to separate text and introduce new topics, titles or subtitles on web pages. They’re Bold & Double Spaced. So, no need for <br></br>, <p> /p> or <b></b>. Come in different sizes <h1> </h1> Largest heading <h2> </h2> <h3> </h3> Average heading <h4> </h4> <h5> </h5> <h6> </h6> Smallest heading
Let’s Practice Adding Style & Heading Tags
Switch back to your Notepad and after the last <hr> you typed, add the following text: <h1>Heading 1 - Biggest Size</h1> <h2>Heading 2</h2> <h3>Heading 3 – Average </h3> <h4>Heading 4</h4> <h5>Heading 5</h5> <h6>Heading 6- Smallest Size</h6>
Save the Notepad & Refresh the Browser Now, lets add some Style to the previously typed text: Put a <b></b> on either side of “great” in the paragraph that starts “I think Web Design…” but before the </hr> Put an <i></i> on either side of your name in the paragraph that starts “My name is_______...” but before the </p> Put a <u></u> on either side of the text “Heading 4” but before the </h4> Save the Notepad & Refresh the Browser
Don’t forget to Refresh your Browser to see the new changes.
Tags & Tags Features
Tags and Features (Add-Ons) Tags (singles or sets) will have Attributes or Features. Let’s call the tag features “Add-On’s”. Add-On’s allow tags to have additional features such as size, color, width, etc… Add-On’s will always go after the opening tag only and never in the closing tag, if it’s a set.
Changing the Appearance of the Horizontal Rule To Change the Width or Length – <hr width=number or %> Thickness or Height - <hr size=number or %> Alignment – <hr align=”right or center or left”> Combine the add-on when needed - <hr align=”right” size=30 width=40%>
Font and its “Add-ons” <font> </font> Font size ranges from 1 - 7 1 is Tiny font 3 is normal - like Word size 12 7 is huge To change the Font Size <font size=number> text here </font>
<font size=3 face=”Comic Sans MS”> Font Face – changes the appearance of the font such as Arial or Comic Sans. <font face =”Arial’’>text </font> You can combine all of the font tag’s add-ons in one tag if they apply to the same text: <font size=3 face=”Comic Sans MS”>
ALIGNING TEXT To Align using the Paragraph Tag: <p align=”right or center or left”> type here </p> To Align using the Heading Tag: <h1 align=”right or center or left”> type here </h1> Centers anything <center> text </center>
Changing Horizontal Rule and Font Let’s Practice Changing Horizontal Rule and Font
Switch back to your Notepad. Now, pick one of the <hr> to change the width, size & alignment by adding the code below inside the <hr>: width=50% size=10 align=“right” Now Type: width=50% size=10 align=“right” <font size=6 face=“Comic Sans MS”> on either side of “This is my very first “WEB PAGE”!!! </font> Save the Notepad & Refresh the Browser
Adding Colors
What’s the Deal with Colors? Color can be added to every element on a web page. Many tags will use the “color” add-on to change the color. Can use the color’s name such as “blue” or the Hexadecimal such as #CCFF00 For example: White or #FFFFFF Black or #000000 Red or #FF0000 Green or #00FF00 Blue or #0000FF Yellow or #FFFF00 Gray or #808080 Purple or #800080 Fuchsia or #FF00FF Lime or #00FF00
Adding Color Web safe colors are provided on Color Charts http://html-color-codes.com/ http://www.colortools.net/color_chart_web-safe.html Coloring the Background a solid color <body bgcolor = “color’s name or hexidecimal #>
Adding Color Continues Coloring the Horizontal Rule <hr color=”colorname” or hexidecimal #> Coloring All Words: <body text=“color’s name” or hexidecimal#> Color Some Words, sentence or paragraph: <font color=“color’s name”> Words </font> Don’t forget that you can Combine <body bgcolor=“?” text=“?”>
