Bucky's Virtual Notebook -- Page One
Tag Reference
- <br> signifies a line break
- <p> signifies a paragraph break
- <center>centers the text.
- <strong> gives a stronger verbal emphasis for use in speech browsers
- <em> stands for "emphasis" and can be verbal or visual emphasis, depending on the context. Visually, it usually shows as italics.
- <blockquote>
This tag set, interestingly enough, does just exactly what it says. It creates a block quote on the page. Unlike the paragraph set, this indents the entire block. (Actually, I'm not yet sure of the exact difference between the two, but I think that's it.)
- <hr> creates a visual hard break or line.
It does not require a closing tag.
- <u> stands for underline. It is rarely used as it tends to look like a link.
- <b> bold, of course!
- <font> This tag set has some added attributes. I can change the color or the size! If I feel really creative, I can change color, size, and font!
- If I don't want to change the font formally, I can use <big> to make text bigger or <small> to make text smaller
- To show that something is no longer available, for instance, I can use the <strike> tag
to strike out a line
- Of course, no page would be complete without a few subscripts and superscripts in it.
- If I want to give someone information about the page author, I use the <address> to create an italicized section about me!
- finally, <h> is the header tag. Examples of levels one and three are shown above.
Above are the special characters to show the right and left brackets & the non-breaking space character.
