The Blockquote tag

This tag will indent and align your text. If used once it will indent all the information as a block from the left of the page. The more tags you use , the more it will be indented. Remember that the same number of tags you use, you also must use the same amount of closing tags. Just put the <BLOCKQUOTE> before the text you want to be displayed as Blockquote, and the </BLOCKQUOTE> at the end of the text.

EXAMPLE:

This is some normal text with out the blockquote tag.

<BLOCKQUOTE>
...this is some text using the blockquote tag...

The Horizontal Rule tag

This tag will display a horizontal line across your page.
There are several commands you can add to this tag to change the appearance of the line. The <HR> tag doesn't have a closing tag, and if used simply as <HR>, it will display a line like this:


Other ways to use this tag

<HR WIDTH=??> this will allow you to change the actual width of the line

EXAMPLE:

<HR WIDTH=200>


<HR SIZE=??> this will allow you to change the size of the line

EXAMPLE:

<HR SIZE=10>


<HR NOSHADE> this will allow you to have a horizontal line with no shadow

EXAMPLE:

<HR NOSHADE>


<HR WIDTH=?? ALIGN=left /center /right> this will allow you to specify the width and align the line either left, center or right

EXAMPLE:

<HR WIDTH=200 ALIGN=right>


You can also use all of these attributes together

The Paragraph tag

This tag will allow a line space between text.
Just put the <P> tag where you would like there to be a line space. (note, you can't have 2 <P> tags together to make 2 line spaces, you must put something between them if you want to create this effect. One way you could do that is to use an escape character such as:
eg: <P>&nbsp<P>)

EXAMPLE:

...this is some text...
<P>...this is some more text...
...this is some text...

...this is some more text...

You can also align your paragraphs by adding the 'ALIGN=' attribute to the <P> tag.

EXAMPLE:

<P ALIGN="right">

This is my paragraph.
Notice how it is aligned to the right of the page.

The Line Break tag

This tag will allow your text to start on the next line. Just put the <BR> tag after the sentence and the next line will appear below that line.

EXAMPLE:

...this is some text...<BR>
...this is some more text...
...this is some text...
...this is some more text...
