Basic Tags(Step 2)
check your book for more details.

All browsers are setup to display text in a default format, usually black, size of about 12, reading from left to right. You can change that by surrounding your text with special tags. They include:
  • <p> Adds a paragraph spacing(extra space between two lines of text)
  • <br> Puts the following text on a new line with no space between lines.
  • <b> Puts text between the tags bold.</b>
  • <i> Puts text between the tags in italic.</i>
  • <u>Underlines the text between the tags.</u> Note: Dangerous to do because it may cause the user to think it is a link!
  • <center>Anything between the tags is centered on the page.</center>
  • <font color=x size=x face=x>Allows you to specify font color, size, and face(font name).</font> Note: You only write the font tag once and end it once. Add the color, size and face attributes to the one font tag. Each attribute is separated by a space.

1. Tell the browser that this is an HTML document.
2. Format the text.
3. Specify the colors.
