A line break that is. If you want a line of text to stop at a certain
point and continue on with out a double
space between the lines, you use the <BR> tag.
This is one of the exceptions to the rule about pairs or sets of tags.
You don't use a </BR> with this one. Let's try this one:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC" TEXT="color">
<!--#geoguide-->
<P><FONT SIZE="+1" FACE="your
font">This
is my homework page for <B>BHS HTML Class</B>. This is a lot
<I>easier</I> than I thought.</FONT>
<P><FONT SIZE="+1" FACE="your
font"> I have learned how to add
color, make text bold, make it small, and make it large. I know how to make paragraphs and
soon I will know how to add a <BR> break to a
line where ever I want one.</FONT>
</BODY>

This is my homework page for BHS HTML Class.
This is a lot easier than I thought.
I have learned how to add color, make text bold, make it small,
and make it large. I know how to make paragraphs and soon I will know how to add a
break to a line where ever I want one.
Where are We Heading?
Headings are what you see right above me. Headings use the tag set <H#>...</H#>. There are six levels
of headings, numbered 1 through 6, with 1 being the largest and most important. Headings are
typically displayed in larger and bolder fonts than normal body text. Do not use
the <B>...</B>tags with header tags. Also, just enter the number you
want to use and not the #
sign. You do not need to use the <P> tag with Header tags.
Note: Just to confuse us, the designers of HTML put the
numbering system for Headers as the reverse of what they are in Fonts. In Headers, 1 is
the largest and in Fonts, 1 is the smallest.

This is a lot easier than I thought.
I have learned how to add color, make text bold, make it small,
and make it large. I know how to make paragraphs and soon I will know how to add a

Want to apply your font and color to the Heading - easy, just put the font tags inside the H tag
like so -
<H3><FONT COLOR="#FF0000"
FACE="your font">Welcome to My Homework Page</FONT></H3>
Alignment
So far everything we have done is aligned on the left
margin. How can I center the text in the middle of the page? Maybe I want my text to line
up with the right margin. Well have I got an attribute for you, ALIGN.
ALIGN="CENTER"
or ALIGN="RIGHT"
or ALIGN="LEFT"(which is the
default).
ALIGN is part of the paragraph, or <P> tag, and the
<H#>...</H#>tags.
Let's align the header we just made.
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC" TEXT="color">
<!--#geoguide-->
<H3 ALIGN="CENTER">Welcome to My Homework Page</H3>
<P><FONT SIZE="+1" FACE="your

Another way to do alignment.
The <DIV>...</DIV> tag.
This is a "container" tag. Anything between the opening and closing tags will be
subject to the rules you set.
You can use the same alignment values as the P tag. <DIV
ALIGN="CENTER">.....</DIV> will center anything between the tags,
text, tables, images etc, including paragraphs and headings.
One More, UNDERLINED!
Want to underline a word or words? Than use the
<U>...</U>
tag set. Just place the <U> tag in front of the word or words you want underlined
and the end tag , </U>, after the last word . Let's under line the Header on your
page.
A word of caution here: Don't go crazy
with underlining, to most people a underlined word looks like a link. We will cover links
later and you will see that they are automatically underlined.
