Using HTML

Notes on how to use HTML

Really, it's all pretty simple:

You end your formatting with your command in <> with a /.

Some Basic Line Formatting

To give titles of different sizes, begin with h1 and then work your way up the numbers to make your headings smaller.

Some Examples:

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

To center align your heading use align=center after your heading code

To enter a line across the screen use hr

To enter a break in the text use br

Spaces and breaks that show in your code don't show up, so you have to use br for breaks.

Another option is to tell the system your text is pre-formatted with the command pre

Here's an example:

This
Doesn't
Have
Breaks
at the
End of
Each
Line.

Formatting Text Styles

Formatting text is really basic:

Bold is b

Italic is i

Big is big

Quote is q

Knick Knacks

There are also some random maybe useful tools to use:

If you want to show an address, use address:

Erin Greenwood

111 Main Street

Hometown, USA

You still have to enter breaks, but the text style changes.


If you want to strike through text, use del

If you want to underline text, you can use ins

Abbr can be entered using the command abbr title=quote and ending with /abbr.

Longer quotes are made put into block format using the command blockquote.

For example, Henry David Thoreau said,

Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; Be good for something.
