2. SSome HTML tags allow you to specify a variety of options, or attributes, along with the basic tag itself. For example, when you begin a paragraph with the <p> tag you can specify whether the text in that paragraph should be aligned to the left margin, right margin, or center of the page.

3. TTo align a paragraph to the right margin, you can put align=“right” inside <p> tag at the beginning of the paragraph. TTo center a paragraph, use <p align=“center”>. TThe tag to align a paragraph to the left is <p align=“left”>. (default) TThe word align is called an attribute of the <p> tag. ◦A◦Attribute are special code words used inside an HTML tag to control exactly what the tag does. YYou can also use the align attribute with <h1>, <h2>and other HTML tag containing text.

4. WWhen you want to set the alignment of more than one paragraph or heading at a time, you can use the align attribute with the <div>, or division, tag. BBy itself, <div> and its corresponding closing </div> tag actually don’t do anything at all. ◦<◦<div align=“center”> ◦<◦<div align=“right”> ◦<◦<div align=“left”>

5. TThere are three basic types of HTML lists. ◦T◦The bulleted list is called an unordered list. It opens with the <ul> tag and closes with </ul>. It looks like an ordered list, except that bullets appear at each <li> tag instead of numbers. ◦T◦The numbered list is called an ordered list. It begins with <ol> tag and ends with a closing </ol> tag. Numbers and line breaks appear automatically at each <li> tag, and the entire list is indented. ◦T◦The list of terms and their meanings is called a definition list. It starts with the <dl> and ends with </dl>. The <dt> tag goes in front of each term to be defined, with a <dd> tag in front of each definition. Line breaks and indentations appear automatically.

6. OOrdered lists ◦a◦are indented lists that have numbers or letters in front of each item. UUnordered lists ◦a◦are indented lists with a special bullet symbol in front of each item. DDefinition lists ◦a◦are indented lists without any number or symbol in front of each item.

7. AAlthough definition lists are officially to be used for defining terms, many Web page authors use them anywhere they’d like to see some indentation. In practice, you can indent any text simply by putting <dl><dd> at the beginning of it and </dd></dl> at the end. OOrdered and unordered lists can also be nested inside one another, down to as many levels as you want.

8. BBy default, a web browser will use a solid disc for the first-level bullet, a hollow circle for the second-level bullet, and a solid square for all deeper levels. However, you can explicitly choose which type of bullet to use for any level by using: ◦<◦<ul type=“disc”> ◦<◦<ul type=“circle”> ◦<◦<ul type=“square”> ◦C◦Can also be used inside the <li> tag

9. TThe type attribute also works with ordered lists, but instead of choosing a type of bullet you choose the type of numbers or letters to place in front of each item. ◦t◦type=“I” – roman numerals ◦t◦type=“A” – capital letters ◦t◦type=“a”- lowercase letters ◦t◦type=“1”- numbers ◦t◦type=“I” – lowercase roman numerals ◦C◦Can also be used inside the <li> tag

10. HHere’s one more seldom-used but handy- when-you-need-it trick: You can start an ordered list with any number (or letter) with the start attribute. <ol start=“3”> IIndividual points can be renumbered with the value attribute: ◦<◦<li value=“12”> NNote that you must always use numbers with the start and value attribute. To make a list that starts with the letter C: ◦<◦<ol type=“A” start=“3”>
