  1. The Web Wizard’s Guide to HTML Chapter Two Basic Text Formatting

  2. Chapter Objectives • Show how to create heading and paragraphs for Web pages • Explain how to control a variety of features associated with text • Learn how to add three types of lists to a Web page • Explore the layout and white-space controls for blocks of text

  3. Heading Elements • Headings come in six sizes • <h1> </h1> is the largest heading • <h6> </h6> is the smallest heading • Headings break up text with titles and subtitles

  4. Tag Attributes • Most HTML tags support their own set of tag attributes • Each attribute contains an attribute name and an attribute value • E.g. you can center a heading with an alignment attribute: <h1 align=“center”>

  5. Breaking Up Text • The paragraph element <p> begins a block of text after an empty line • The break element <br> begins a block of text on a new line • The horizontal rule element <hr> inserts a horizontal line to emphasize a break in the text

  6. Standard Type Face Options • <font face=“Arial”> </font> • It is best to specify type faces in groups since different computers use different type fonts: face=“Arial, Geneva, Helvetica” face=“Times New Roman, Times” face=“Courier New, Courier” • Other useful font attributes include color and size

  7. Three Types of Lists Ordered list <ol> <li> </li> </ol> Unordered list <ul> <li> </li> </ul> Definition list <dl> <dt> </dt> <dd> </dd> </dl>

  8. White Space Management • Browsers are programmed to ignore extraneous blank spaces and empty lines • Controlling white space on a Web page requires special HTML elements: &nbsp; <br> <pre></pre> <blockquote></blockquote>
