Basic Web Page Writing Step 6
Emphasizing Text
In step 5 you used centering and alignment to position text on a page where you wanted it to be. Now you will be able to have parts of the text look different and stand out from the rest.
This step will introduce some more HTML 2.0 + codes. These include the BOLDFACE, ITALICS, STRONG, EMPHASIS, TYPEWRITER and BLINK tags.
Following are some examples of each of these.
BOLDFACE TAGS
<B>BOLDFACE </B>
PRODUCES ----->BOLDFACE
ITALICS TAGS
<I>ITALICS</I>
PRODUCES ----->ITALICS
STRONG TAGS
<STRONG>STRONG</STRONG>PRODUCES -----> STRONG
EMPHASIS TAGS
<EM>EMPHASIS</EM>
PRODUCES ----->EMPHASIS
TYPEWRITER TAGS
<TT>TYPEWRITER </TT>
PRODUCES ----->TYPEWRITER
BLINK TAGS
<BLINK>BLINK</BLINK>
PRODUCES ----->
NOTE: Don't get carried away with the BLINK tag.
You can mix and match the above for example combine the BOLDFACE and ITALIC and also place more than one word inside the tags.
For example
<B><I>This sentence is both bold and italic </I></B>
PRODUCES ----->This sentence is both bold and italic
Now try using some of these tags on your own page. Open your webpage.htm and try these out. Just remember that you need both the beginning and ending tags for them to work correctly.
Your web page is starting to take shape nicely now. In step 7 you will see how to divide up your page with lines and dividers.
