 There is LOTS of things you can do with text and fonts to make your page stand out. Text will automatically be standard unless you use tags to change it. This section is going to about changing the way your text looks.
There is a couple of standard short cuts to making your text different. <I>Makes your text Italic</I> <u>Makes your text Underlined </u> <TT>Makes your text MonoSpaced</TT> <b><I><u>Yes you can combine them togeather too.</b></I></u> Fonts can be changed in several ways. The size, color and the type. To change any of these you use the <font> to start and </font> to end. The size is the number that lets the browser know how big to make your fonts. The numbers 1 through 7 can be used, 3 is the standard size if you dont change it. Examples: This is size 7. <font size=7>This is size 7.</font> This is size 1. <font size=1>This is size 1.</font> Base Font Size Base font can also be changed in the same way....just use the tag <basefont size=size> ....this will keep the main fonts that size and you can just use the <font> and </font> to change other sections on your page. The base font tag should go at the top of your page. Font Colors: The best way to make your page stand out is to put some color in your text. For html each color has a 6 digit number #000000 is the value for black. There is LOTS of places with all the colors labled with the values.... a good page is HTML COLOR CHART, this is also the one myleague uses. You can also use the standard english words such as "blue" or "violet". Either way works fine. Examples: <font color="#FF0000">This is red</font> <font color="blue">This is blue</font> There is also ways to change the color of the links on your page. <body Link="color" vlink="color" alink="color"> Link is the color of new links, vlink is the color of visited links and alink is the color of active link. The face is the typeface. The default is set to a plain typeface if you want to change it you need to use the tag <font face="typeface">. Examples: <font face="arial">Font face is arial</font> <font face="jester">Font face is jester</font> |
