HTML Format

This section includes the tags often used for formatting the HTML text.

<font>

The <font> tag is used to change the format of the text on the web page. The most important attributes are as follows:

    * face: The type of font. Common ones include "Time New Roman", "Verdana", and "Helvetica."
    * size: This indicates the size of the text. This can be absolute (0 .. 6), or relative ("+1", "+2", ... or "-1", "-2" ...)
    * color: This indicates the color of the text. Either the color name or the six-character color code may be used to specify color.
