Headers Like This OneHeaders are used on virtually every page,
and usually serve as the title. Basically, all they
really are is a variation of font sizes. However, in
addition to changing the size, the header tags also
create bold text, and add blank lines
directly above and below the header. In the examples
below, there are no line-breaks or paragraphs inserted to
divide the text. Current HTML recognizes six sizes,
conveniently labeled h1 through h6. To change the size of
the header, simply surround the text with H1 Looks Like ThisH2 Looks Like ThisH3 Looks Like ThisH4 Looks Like ThisH5 Looks Like ThisH6 Looks Like ThisIn addition to the title, remember that
you can also vary the size of the text in the body of the
page. To do this, enter Size One is 8-Point Type Size Two is 10-Point Type Size Three is 12-Point Type Size Four is 14-Point Type Size Five is 18-Point Type Size Six is 24-Point Type Size Seven is 36-Point Type Size Six (24-Point) is likely about the largest size you will ever need to use. 36-Point Type can seem a bit obtrusive, and tends to over-shadow the rest of your page, unless it is specifically designed around extremely large font sizes. The differnces between headers and font sizes should be readily apparent, but larger fonts are often used in place of headers, and the other way around. Just remember that a header will always be bold text, and always leaves a blank line above and below it. Text will not do either of these things unless told to do so. | |
