There seem to be a lot of HTML questions being asked these days, so I thought I would try to help out.
Here is a list of html tags. The word in the center is an example of what the tag does.
Each tag begins with < (left angle bracket) and ends with > (right angle bracket).
Style Tags modify the way your text looks. NOTE: In general, all HTML commands will take the form:
<COMMAND> text </COMMAND>.
- <B>bold</B>
- <I>italics</I>
- <STRONG>strong</STRONG>
- <BLINK></BLINK>
- <CODE>
code
</CODE>- <EM>emphasize</EM>
- <ADDRESS>address</ADDRESS>
- <CITE>citation</CITE>
- <SAMP>sample</SAMP>
- <KBD>keyboard entry</KBD>
- <TT>teletype</TT>
- <BIG>big print</BIG>
- <SMALL>small print</SMALL>
- <SUB>subscript</SUB>
- <SUP>superscript</SUP>
- <STRIKE>
strikeout</STRIKE>- <PRE>
preformatted text</PRE>Heading Tags are very similar to style tags. Headings come in six sizes, 1-6. 1 is the largest. 6 is smallest. The heading tag also includes an implicit <BR> at the beginning and end. The format for the heading tags is <H#> with # being a number 1-6, and they look like this:
<H1>
This is a size 1 heading
</H1>
<H2>
This is a size 2 heading
</H2>
<H5>
This is a size 5 heading
LINKS
Links come in three basic varieties: links to other files, links to the same file and links to pictures.
To link to another file on another server, use
<A HREF="http://server/path/filename.html"> anchor text </A>. This is called absolute linking. The tag is called an anchor.
Example: <A HREF="http://www.disney.com"> The Walt Disney Home Page </A>
To link to another file on the same server, use <A HREF="path/filename.html"> anchor text </A>. That is called relative linking.
Example: <A HREF="../auction/Auction.html"> The Auction Block</A>
