| You can create far better websites using
the Mergemill free web templates
if you at least learn the basic HTML codes we teach you
here.
Most HTML tags are used in pairs -- an opening tag
and a closing tag enclose the text to be affected.
The opening tag consists of a keyword, attribute names and
values, all enclosed by the symbols "<" and
">". A simple example is <strong>
and a richer one is <font face="Arial, Verdana"
color="#ff6030" size="-2">.
The closing tag consists of just the keyword preceded by
a forward slash, such as </strong> and </font>.
Some tags do not enclose anything. So their opening and
closing tags are merged together, like <img src="mypicture.jpg"
width="80" height="60" />. In
HTML, the final slash is optional and often omitted.
Setting HTML Font Style
Text enclosed by the tags <em>
and </em> is emphasized.
Most browsers will set the affected text in italics. <strong>
and </strong> set their
enclosed text in bold.
Setting HTML Font Face, Color and Size
The Mergemill free web templates all contain page-wide
settings for text face, color, size and line height. Most
of these settings can be changed in Mergemill job definitions
that use the free web templates. You do not need to use
the font tag for most of your text. Use it to format
isolated sections for special purposes.
The font tags has three attributes -- font face,
color and size. Here they are with all three:
<font face="fontname1, fontname2,
..." color="#rgb" size="n">
text to be affected
</font>
You list the names of the font, for the face attribute,
to display the text enclosed. The browser will use the first
font in the list found in the system on which it runs.
The color value can be a valid color name, such as color="black",
or most often a hex color value giving the intensity of
the red, green and blue components from 00 to ff. So the
color value #ff0000 gives the strongest red color.
The font size number has a range of 1 to 7. You may also
specify a number from -7 to +7 with respect to the default
size.
