HTML Text
You will always have text on your website and you must know how to format it correctly, as well as what types of tags are available to identify different types of text (e.g. address).
Text will usually be in a <p> tag which is a paragraph tag, however these tags are also available:
| Tag | Use |
|---|---|
| <address> | Used to supply contact information, it requires the end tag. Most browsers will render it in italics. |
| <code> | Computer code |
| <mark> | Highlights text |
| <abbr> | Abbreviation |
| <strong> | Strong emphasis (browsers usually render this in bold) |
| <i> | Italic text |
| <u> | Underlined text |
| <b> | Bold text |
| <q> | Inline quotation |
| <cite> | Citation |
| <kbd> | Keyboard phrase |
| <sub> | Used to show formulas (appears at the bottom) |
| <sup> | Used to show formulas (appears at the top) |
