HTML FORMATTING

HTML Formatting

You may be familiar with some of the formatting options that are available in word processing applications such as Microsoft Office, and desktop publishing software such as QuarkXpress. Well, many of these formatting features are available in HTML too! This lesson contains some of the more common formatting options.

Headings

There is a special tag for specifying headings in HTML. There are 6 levels of headings in HTML ranging from h1 for the most important, to h6 for the least important.

Typing this code:

<*h1>Heading 1<*/h1> <*h2>Heading 2<*/h2> <*h3>Heading 3<*/h3> <*h4>Heading 4<*/h4> <*h5>Heading 5<*/h5> <*h6>Heading 6<*/h6> PLEASE Remove Firstly All Asterics *

Results in this:

Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 Heading 4 Heading 5 Heading 6

Bold

You specify bold text with the <*b> tag.

Typing this code:

<*b>This text is bold.<*/b> PLEASE Remove Firstly All Asterics *

Results in this:

This text is bold.

Italics

---

You specify italic text with the <*i> tag.

Typing this code:

<*i>This text is italicised.<*/i> PLEASE Remove Firstly All Asterics *

<*ol> <*li>List item 1<*/li> <*li>List item 2<*/li> <*li>List item 3<*/li> <*/ol> PLEASE Remove Firstly All Asterics *
