Text Formats

HTML has a number of different tags for text, in this section ill show you a few. We'll start off with how to make text bold, italic, underline or monospace. The tags look go like this.

<B>Bold</B>
<I>Italic</I>
<U>Underline</U>
<TT>Monospace</TT>

You'll need to make sure you put a tag with a slash in it where you want the format to end, other wise the rest of the page with be formatted bold or whatever.

Paragraphs and Line Breaks

I'll now show you how to get your text into line using the line break tag. This tag tell the browser to start a new line, without this tag the browser would keep going until it runs out of space and starts a new line by itself. Heres the tag example.

Whatever you want to type<BR>
And the next line begins

Even if you keep typing after the break line tag the browser will still start a new line, like so.

The first line<BR> this will still go on the next line even though its doesnt in the HTML file

Now i'll show you how to make paragraphs using the paragraph tag. This tag puts an empty line between the text or image and the next piece of text or image to give you a paragraph. This page has many paragraphs and now i'll show you how the tags go.

<P>
Text
more text
even more text
</P>
The next text or image starts here, the </P> line wouldn't be there just the empty line
