How do I make strike-outs?
Strike-Out empasizes certain text, in a way that underlining does. The only difference is that instead of having the line under the text, it runs
| Example: | |
|---|---|
| HTML: | <STRIKE> Strike ONE! </STRIKE> |
How can I make superscripts and subscript?
Superscript and subscript have similar HTML triggers. However, they do two different things (well, obviously). Use <SUB></SUB> to get subscripts, and use <SUP></SUP> to get superscripts.
| Example: | H2O x 10-23 |
|---|---|
| HTML: | H<SUB>2</SUB> x 10<SUP>-23</SUP> |
Can I make "typewriter" text?
Typewriter text enables a different form of emphasis on text. Also called "monospaced font," it can stress computer code, and other informations. There are four tags that can be used: <KBD></KBD>; <TT></TT>; <SAMP></SAMP>; or <CODE></CODE>. **If you are doing large amounts of text in monospaced format, <PRE></PRE> should be used.
| Example: | Fishy, isn't it! |
|---|---|
| HTML: | <TT> Fishy, isn't it! </TT> |
How do I make bold, underlined, and italicised text?
Font attributes such as bold, italics, and underlineing, shout-out to be noticed. These simple attributes can highlight text and makes it eye-catching to the visitor of the page.
| Example: | Underline all bold italics! |
|---|---|
| HTML: | <u>Underline</u> all <b>bold</b> <i>italics</i>! |
What is that [annoying] blinking text?
Netscape has a special feature to make text stand out. Called blinking, this Netscape-exclusive tag makes certain text flashes on the screen.
| Example: | |
|---|---|
| HTML: | <BLINK> Blink! </BLINK> |
Why does that text scroll? [Marquee]
Marquee scrolls text back and forth across the screen. It is NOT viewable on NETSCAPE -- it is only viewable in Internet Explorer. When it can be seen, it looks very attractive, and it is attention getting. <MARQUEE></MARQUEE> are the tags. Height, behavior, and direction can also be set, as in the example below.
| Example: | |
|---|---|
| HTML: | <MARQUEE BEHAVIOR=SLIDE DIRECTION=LEFT LOOP=0 WIDTH=55% BGCOLOR="#F1F1F1">Marquee, weeeeeeeee!</MARQUEE> |
Can I change font appearance?
Changing font size, color, and face can create fine print or huge headlines. These are simple changes to make. There are only seven (7) sizes to choose from, with the default size being "three (3)." There are over sixteen million colors to choose from (The Color Table has a few).
| Example: |
Red text. An Arial Headline! Small and Big |
|---|---|
| HTML: |
<FONT COLOR=FF0000>Red</FONT> text. <FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Arial, Times New Roman">An Arial Headline!</FONT> <SMALL>Small</SMALL> and <BIG>Big</BIG> |
Is hidden text possible?
Comments are useful for organizing your page and content. Though they may be useful, try not to make your comments too personal, because other people may wish to download your page for the content (to use for a resource). Keep it brief, so you do not confuse yourself with the normal text when editing. Anything can go inside the <!-- --> tag which form the comment.
| Example: | |
|---|---|
| HTML: | <!-- This is a comment. You cannot see it, normally. --> |
What if I need letters/symbols not on my keyboard?
Sometimes you may need a character that isn't available on a common heyboard. Do not consider this table complete, there are many other characters. These are just a few of the common ones.
| Example | HTML | Example | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|
| à | à | Á | Á |
| Â | Â | ã | &ã |
| ä | ä | Å | Å |
| Æ | Æ | æ | æ |
| < | < | > | > |
