Basics of HTML design.
- You can size lines of text by putting the tag <h1> before it, and </h1> after it. From one to six:
<h1> For Example </h1>
<h2> For Example </h2>
<h3> For Example </h3>
<h4> For Example </h4>
<h5> For Example </h5>
<h6> For Example </h6>
other text is normal, like this.
- Use <b> and </b> to <b>bold</b> text.
- Use <i> and </i> for <i>italic dmphasis</i>.
- Use <tt> and </tt> for <tt>courier</tt> typewriter looking text.
- To break between lines,
with a space between, use <p>
- To break between lines,
without a space between, use <br> - To add open vertical space to a document
use a <p>, and add a few <br>'s after
- If you want to just tab the first line of text in a paragraph, throw down a <dd> as I did at the beginning of this sentence.
- You can make lists of stuff
For a basic, un-numerated list, use the <ul> tag to mark before and after the list and <li> to mark each list item. Like this:<ul>
<li>one fish, two fish
<li>red fish, blue fish
</ul>
And your list will come out like this:
- one fish, two fish
- red fish, blue fish
If you want to have numbered lists, use <ol> (for ordered list) instead of <ul> (unordered list).
- remove the body
- wash the trunk
- re-line the interior
You can also use <li> just for bullets, leaving them un-nested in any lists. That's what I have done with this document.
- If you have a long paragraph of text that is just sitting, sprawling long across the page, sort of unengaging, you can
<blockquote>
indent that paragraph, to set it off from other text, to allow some breathing room around it on a page. It can help organize information, or make it easier to read long paragraphs
</blockquote>To do that, just use the <blockquote> and </blockquote> tags around the text you would like to indent.
- To center text on a page:
If it is a <h#> headline, try
<h1 align=center>Center me!</h1>
It will come out like this:
Center me!
If it is other text, or a picture, try<p align=center>Here is some text to be centered</p>
Here is some centered text
<p align=center>
</p>
- If you want to just tab the first line of text in a paragraph, throw down a <dd> as I did at the beginning of this sentence.
