What is HTML? HTML HELP

Rundown:
HTML is a webpage language that is used by your browser to interpret what and how to display the content from a website.

In Depth:
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) used on the WWW (World Wide Web). It is a programming language used in order to create web pages. Web browsers such as Internet Explorer interpret the HTML code on the site and display it in a way that visitors to the site are able to view it. HTML is actually a very basic tag language, and is easy to use once the basic concepts are understood. HTML is a client-side language meaning that the client which is the page visitor gets the data interpreted locally on their computer, not from the server.

The Basics of HTML and Formating:

Formatting Text - Add effects to your text to make it cooler looking.

a) Breaking Spaces - To create a new line of text put <br> in between your text or images. This will create the effect of an enter using the enter key.
Example: Hello! <br> How are you?
OUTPUT on Screen:
Hello!
How are you?

You can also use paragraph tags <p> to create the effect of a new paragraph (two spaces).
Example: Hello! <p> How are you?
OUTPUT on Screen:
Hello!

How are you?

b) Bold, Underline, Italics, Strike Through -
Bold = <b>Text You Want Bolded</b>
Underline = <u>Text You Want Underlined</u>
Italics = <i>Text You Want In Italics</i>
Strike Through = <s>Text You Want to Strike Through</s>

c) Adding Colors - Make your text colorful!
Red = <font color="red">Text You Want Red</font>
Green = <font color="green">Text You Want Green</font>
Blue = <font color="blue">Text Your Want Blue</font>
Other Color = <font color="COLOR YOU WANT HERE">Text You Want Colorized Here</font>

d) Modifying Font Size - Make you text grow!
<font size="1">Text Here</font> = Text Here
<font size="2">Text Here</font> = Text Here
<font size="3">Text Here</font> = Text Here
<font size="4">Text Here</font> = Text Here
<font size="5">Text Here</font> = Text Here
Want to go even bigger? <font size="Size Here">Text Here</font>
Just replace Size Here with any number you want.

e) Modifying Font Face - Change your Font Face
<font face="Arial">Text Here</font> = Text Here
<font face="Times New Roman">Text Here</font> = Text Here
<font face="Courier New">Text Here</font> = Text Here
<font face="Georgia">Text Here</font> = Text Here
<font face="Verdana">Text Here</font> = Text Here
<font face="Tahoma">Text Here</font> = Text Here
Want to use another font face not listed here? <font face="Font Face">Text Here</font>
Replace Font Face with the font face name of your choice.

f) Aligning Text the way you want it.
<div align="left">Text Here</div>

<div align="center">Text Here</div>

<div align="right">Text Here</div>
