Although I don't use this one much, I'll explain the Header Style tag.
There are six of them to choose from <H1>, <H2>...thru <H6>, and you must
use the appropriate </H1>, </H2>, etc. to close out this Style.  Adding
these tags will cause the output text to be in Bold type with a blank line
after the closing </Hn> tag.  <H1> produces really large letters, and they
get smaller as you go up to <H6> (which is really small).  Normal text size
would be <H4>.  Examples:

<H1>This would be really big in Bold</H1>
<H4>This would be normal size, except it would be in Bold</H4>
<H6>This would be really small, but still in Bold</H6>

     Here is how these look with the web browser you are using now:

This would be really big in Bold

This would be normal size, except it would be in Bold

This would be really small, but still in Bold

     If you use these outside of a block of centered text, you can also add
the ALIGN option to Right/Left justify, or Center like this:

<H1 ALIGN="LEFT">Text at left side</H1>
<H1 ALIGN="CENTER">Text centered</H1>
<H1 ALIGN="RIGHT">Text at right side</H1>

     Here is how these look with the web browser you are using now:

Text at left side

Text centered

Text at right side

     As I said, I don't use this one much.  And remember that you will
always get an extra blank line after the closing </Hn> tag (similar to how
<P> makes a blank line of text).

     Normally, I would use either the Bold, Italic, or Font tags to alter
text size and style.  These allow you to make specific words in a sentence
stand out from the rest.  To make a part of the text Bold, just add <B> to
turn it on, and </B> to turn it back off.

     Similarly, you can mark a section of text to be in Italics by adding
<I> to turn Italics on, and </I> to turn it back off.  You can also combine
these to produce Bold and Italics like this:

<B>This is Bold Text</B>
<I>This is in Italics</I>
<B><I>This text would be in Bold and Italics</I></B>
<I><B>This text would also be in Bold and Italics</B></I>

     Here is how these look with the web browser you are using now:

     You just have to remember what order you turned them on, and then be
sure to turn them off again in the reverse order (as shown above).  I don't
use these too often either, but they come in handy every once in a while.

     Usually I use the Font tag, since it allows me to change both the Size
and Color of text.  The general form of the Font tag is:

<FONT SIZE="n" COLOR="color">

     And you turn it off again with </FONT>.  "n" can be a number from 1 to
7.  Oddly, these numbers work in reverse order from those in the "<Hn>"
header tag.  That is, 7 is the largest size, and 1 is the smallest (with 3
being normal size).  You can enter a color name, or use the "#nnnnnn" hex
number format (as I explained for the Body tag).

     Here are some examples of using the Font tag:

<FONT SIZE="7">This would be large text</FONT>
<FONT COLOR="BLUE">This would be normal size, but in the Color Blue</FONT>
<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FF0000">This would be really small and in Red</FONT>

     Here is how these look with the web browser you are using now:

     You can put the Font tag in the middle of a sentence to make a word
stand out like this:

Using the Font tag you can <FONT COLOR="RED">change</FONT> size and color.

     This would produce text in the normal text color you specified in the
Body tag except the word "change" would be in red.

     Here is what this looks like with the web browser you are using now:

     You can also use the Bold and Italics tags inside (or outside) of
the Font tag.  Just be sure to close them all out in the reverse order
you used to start them.
