HTML Markups
It is possible to create perfectly useful Web documents using only
a small fraction of the available HTML codes. Some of the more
useful basic tags include:
- Headings
- HTML defines 6 levels of heading: <H1> through to
<H6>. <H1> is the largest, and <H6> is the
smallest.
- Text Spacing
- Use <P> to force a new paragraph, and <BR> to force
a line break.
- Emphasis
- Severely overused! HTML allows both "logical" emphasis:
<EM>text</EM> and <STRONG>text</STRONG>, as
well as "physical" emphasis: <I>text</I> and
<B>text</B>. Philosophical note: Use of
the logical emphasis tags is usually recommended...
- Preformatted text, etc
- Use <kbd>text</kbd> to indicate "typewritten" text.
The <CODE>text</CODE> tag is equivalent. Use
<PRE>lines of text</PRE> for multi-line preformatted
text.
- Misc
- Use <HR> to insert a horizontal line. Use
<CITE>text</CITE> and/or
<BLOCKQUOTE>text</BLOCKQUOTE> for quotations.
