Easy HTMLCopyright 2001 by Michelle Jones. All rights reserved.
When creating a document with HTML, use the <html><body> tags at the beginning of the text, and </body></html> to close.
BOLDFor writing bold text, enter the <b> tag before the text that you want to be bold, and close with a </b> tag.
CENTER To center text, add a <center> tag before the text and a </center> tag to close.
FONTSTo create different font styles, enter <font face="the name of your font here">your text here</font>.
FONT SIZE AND COLORSWhen adding several font tags, you would type it like this... <font face="font name here" size="2" color="red">your text here</font> Common colors: black, white, red, green, blue, yellow, aqua, fuchsia, gray, lime, maroon, purple, navy, olive, silver, teal
HEADINGSTo create a large title heading, use the <h4> before the text and close with a </h4>. You can also use h3, h2 and h1 for bigger text.
ITALICSFor changing your text to italics, enter the <i> tag before the text, and close with an </i> tag.
When adding a link to your article, write it this way... <a href=”http://www.blessingsforlife.com”>Blessings for Life</a> Your link will look like this, Blessings for Life. If you are not using html, you can still provide an active link by writing the complete url like this... http://www.blessingsforlife.com To have the link open up in a new window, add a target code like this... <a href=”http://www.blessingsforlife.com” target=”new”>title of link here</a>
PARAGRAPHSFor automated formatting, begin paragraphs with a <p> tag, and close with a </p> tag. To create a single line break without creating a double space, as using the paragraph tags will do, use the <br> tag at the end of your line or sentence.
UNDERLINEIf you wish to underline your text, use caution. Your readers may think the underlined text is an active link. For underlining text, use the <u> tag, along with a closing </u> tag.
One more tip... write your article in Word first, so it will help correct your mistakes, then transfer it to the notepad and add html tags. Or you can write your article in Outlook Express, then view source to get your html tags already made. However, doing it the later way will also add a bunch of junk coding that you don't need, and may actually mess up your article depending on where you're publishing it. Hope this helps! :o) |
