How to Make A Nice Neat Page Simply and Quickly
Well, it finally arrived, folks. The answers to the format questions, like, "How do you get your page so neatly indented past those wide borders?" are here.
Indented Borders without Tables
The border trick is easy. Just use ul,( which as always, is in brackets, ) just as I have up there, after the body tags. Five usually brings your page in just as it has mine, about two inches. Normally, you would use ul, which stands for unordered list, where you want a bulleted, (those little squares), unnumbered list. There are codes for numbered lists and Roman numbered lists as well. We'll cover those in a later lesson.
Easy Accented Text
Another question you might have is, "How do you make the text different sizes, so that you can call attention to one particular spot? That's easy, too. For that, you would use a heading, or h# where #equals a number. Any number, but remember, the heading text gets smaller as you make the number bigger. And, yes, you can use a number over and over, like h1. And this code must be closed off, or your page will have that entire font size all the way through it. It can be very annoying.
But I Didn't want to accent that Much Text, Just Two or Three Words....!
Also, in very small amounts, you can make text italic (i), bold (b), blinking(blinking), or underlined(u).
As you can see, those can get annoying.
How to put things in the Middle
For those of us who hate to live in the edge, there is also the center command. Like almost all commands, it needs to be turned off when you are through, and it works well for accents. This is great for an image, a link (our next lesson), a list, or something you want to be the center of attention.
