1. Tags & Formatting Internet Basics & Beyond

2. Stand Alone Tags  Remember how I told you in lesson two that most HTML tags work in pairs, but that there are a few exceptions?  Here they are: Paragraph Horizontal rule Line Break

3. What they do…  Use the Paragraph tag whenever you begin a new paragraph. This will leave a blank line wherever you use it. (Like between paragraphs!)  The Line break tag will force your text to start on the next line.  Finally, the Horizontal Rule tag will give you a thin black line across your page.

4. Headings  Headings come in six sizes: Your Heading

5. Getting Centered  You can center your Heading by nesting it inside a set of CENTER tags, like in the example below. Your Heading  You can also center text or images by placing them inside center tags

6. Make My Words Pretty  The size and color of text on an HTML document can be controlled by using the FONT tag.  You'll set color of text for the entire page in the body tag, but you can enclose individual words, sentences, or even sections of your page in between FONT tags to make them different than the norm.

7. The FONT tag  The Font Tag can effect several different aspects of the text you place between them. For now you only need to worry about two.  SIZE and Color The FONT tag has a real identity crisis on it's hands. It really doesn't know much about itself until you tell it exactly what type of FONT tag it is.

8. More…  You do this by assigning it an ATTRIBUTE COLOR is an Attribute, as is SIZE. Every single attribute must have a value. The value would be what color or size you want your text to be. YOUR TEXT

9. Font Size  Use the size attribute just like the font color attribute, by inserting it into your opening font tag YOUR TEXT  When an HTML tag accepts attributes, like the font tag does, you can put all of it's attributes in the same tag. Text

10. There are seven font sizes  With 7 being the largest and 1 being the teensiest. SIZE=7 SIZE=6 SIZE=5 SIZE=4 SIZE=3 SIZE=2 SIZE=1
