                                                              Chapt 3 -- Text, and its attributes






The <p> Tag

The <p> tag is used to signify a paragraph.
By putting your text inbetween the <p> and </p> tags you can specially format that text. This command also tells the browser to treat the text as a paragraph and puts in the paragraph spacing for you.
Here are several examples of the <p> command:
<p>this is paragraph 1</p><p> this is paragraph 2</p> comes out as

this is paragraph 1

this is paragraph 2

<p align="center">this centered</p><p align="right"> this is right aligned</p> comes out as

this is centered

this is right aligned

The <font> Tag

The <font> is a really useful and fun tag to use for coloring, changing the font of, or resizing text.
Just put the text that you want changed inbetween the <font> and </font> tags
Here is a list of attributes(properties of the text) that you can change:
color -- this value can be any color your monitor can support
face -- this is the font type of your text(i.e.: Helvetica or Arial).
size -- the values for this are 1 through 7, default value is 3.

example:

<font size="5" color="forestgreen" face="helvetica">this is large green text</font> would be displayed as:
this is large green text

The Header Tags

The header tags are easy ways to create titles.
To use a header tag, put the text you want enlarged inbetween the <h1> and </h1> tags.
If you use <h2></h2> instead of <h1></h1>, you will get a much smaller title
you can use h1 to h6(the size of the title text gets smaller as the number after 'h' gets larger)

example:

<h1>Header1</h1> <h2>Header2</h2> <h3>Header3</h3> <h4>Header4</h4> would be displayed as:

Header1

Header2

Header3

Header4
