Text Tags

<PRE></PRE>
This element is used to indicate that the enclosed text is preformatted meaning that spaces, returns, tabs, and other formatting characters are preserved.

This tag implements siz levels of document headings; <H1> is the most prominent, and <H6> is the least prominent. (n in the tag means number)

This attribute specifies the font size as either a numeric or relative value. Numeric values range from 1 to 7 with 1 being the smallest and 3 being the default. The relative values, + and -, increment or decrement the font size relative to the current size. The value for increment or decrement should range only from the +1 to +6 or -1 to -6.


This attribute sets the text color using either a browser-dependent named color or a color specified in a hexademical #RRGGBB format.
