HTML TEXT (+ FORMATTING)

TEXT  &  FORMATTING

HTML text formatting consists of tags and their syntax only. There is nothing much to know, except the tags themselves! However, I included some tips for you to remember.

• HTML text formatting elements can change various stylesand formatting without having to write additional CSScode. It is useful if you wish for minor changes;

• HTML text formatting elements are used by writing between tags, which apply formatting to the text, for example: if you wanted to make your text italic, you would write <i>like this</i> in your HTML code. You can click on the example to check out more about italic elements;

• HTML text formatting tags are not empty elements, and they need closing tags. Some tutorials may suggest otherwise, but it’s a very unprofessional practice, and you shouldn’t do that as you’re just learning;

• Formatting elements were designed to distinguishimportant text and to make text styling more convenient. It means that you don’t need any CSS code to style your textual content.

When you’re writing by hand, I’m quite sure you sometimes underline or double-write some parts of the text so, they would be more visible and would attract your attention. You should do the same while writing for your website so your readers would have a clear idea what your text is about.
