Font Formatting Another common used HTML is font formatting. This is when you change the text to bold, italics, underline or strike through. Each will do different things and there are different ways to do this. For the basic HTML I'll show you the simplest way ^_^Bold Text is created by using this
Italic text is much like bolded text in it's creation. For Italics you would use:
Once gain with the underline we repeat the same thing
Strike through is a little different as it uses a full word and not the first letter.
Font Types Changing the font type can change the entire look of a layout, but it also can have no effect on some people. As most like to play with font types in sites and in various other places it's important to remember a few things before you do it.Not everyone has the same fonts on their computer, you're garenteed that they have times new roman unless they deleted it, and Arial. Then it becomes free range depending on what operating system they have. Try to change the font to fonts people most likely have, and always have a back up font. An idea is to offer someone the font that you have to view your webpage properly. (The font had better be freeware or you could face fines for offering it. And if it's a downloaded one watch for copyrights.) Onto changing it. To change the font you must first open your tag with
Font Color For the most part you can already see me changing the color on the page, making it all sorts of different colors all over the place. So now I'll show you how to change the color of your text. Start once again by opening your tag. <font color=green> Then of course after you type what you want, close the tag. </font> So what you would have would be this <font color=green>My text is green right now</font> And it would look like this My text is green right now. So you can change your text to any color, and the text you type after you closed the font tag will be back to the default color of your text. Font Size Now that we can change the font type, and color we need to learn to change the font size. There are a few ways to do this, but I'm going to go with the way that I learned best, and then I'll teach you other ways. Start with opening the tag of course <font size="5"> Type what you want and then remember to close your tag </font> So what we get then is something like this. <font size="5">My text is size 5.</font> And it would look like this My text is size 5. Of course we can change it another way, which is a little simpler if you just want that text to be that one size bigger. But keep in mind not everyone might see the text the same size. This one will increase the default size of their computer to up one or so. <font size=+1> And closing after we type text </font> Looks a little like this <font size=+1>My text is Plus One size</font> Comes out like this My text is Plus One size It's handy if you don't feel like playing with the sizes... it does the trick. There are other ways to change the text size, but we'll get into that after. Combining the Font Tags Seeing as we have learned how to change the text size, color and type, we should learn that it isn't necessary to open a new font tag just to change the size, color and type of the same text.Say I want to take my name "Sheyna" And I want to make it size 5, green and in Comic Sans MS I would start by opening my tag <font face="Comic Sans MS" color=green size="5"> Then of course I would type my name and then close it </font> So it would look a little like this <font face="Comic Sans MS" color=green size="5">Sheyna</font> And come out like this Sheyna You can take all three, stick them within the <font> and </font> tags, and make what you want. Just using the <font> and </font> alone though will change nothing... Play around with it a little, experiment. |
