| MY HTML HELP PAGE CREATED BY: [email protected] 4 BLACK PLANET USERS |
| Basic stuff First off, you will post all of this info into your personal message box on BP!!!! Second, these are called tags: < > This is an open tag: < > and this is a close tag: </ >. Tags make up the entire structure of HTML. You use them to open and close orders, and orders tell things what to do. EXAMPLE of open/close tags. The <B> tag is saying to start BOLD text, and the</B> tag is saying to stop bold text. I <B> walked</B>to the door. Will give u this: I walked to the door. I <B>walked<B> to the door , or I <B>walked to the door will not. Because there is no close tag. |
| What is HTML? It stands 4 Hyper Text Markup Language. Its just a fancy format of words that any computer can access. |
| Here are common basic codes 4 you 2 use. You can copy and paste, 2 reduce typing. Where you see TEXT HERE , COLOR, #, or " " , you will be replacing your words or text there. You replace inside these" ". |
| FONT CODE: changes the color and size of your text. <font size=# color=COLOR>TEXT HERE</font> SIZE = A NUMBER LIKE 1, 2 , 3, ETC. *** A good place 2 get color codes is: Hex Codes *** *** You can also change the font face or type. All you do is enter: face= inside the same tag as above. **Some fonts accepted are: *Times New Roman *Comic Sans MS *ENGRAVERS *BASICALLY MOST OF THE FONTS YOU CAN FIND ON MICROSOFT WORD, ETC. |
|
| When you open tags, you also have to close them in a certain order. Lets say you want to bold, underline and change the font size of a word, this is how you need to close the tag. The word will be: Hey!! ***underline= <U> ***bold= <B> EX: <font size=5><B><U>Hey!!</U></B></font> ***An easy way 2 remember the order of close tags is THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST AND THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST. |
| UNDERLINE: <U> text </U> BOLD: <B>text</B> Italics: <I>text</I> To center text: <CENTER>text</CENTER> |
| Other codes *** You can change things within the codes such as the bgcolor (background color) and font sizes and pixels (px) which change the height and width of things. * Don't forget to change these ###### to a color. |
| GLOWING TEXT CODE: <span style="width: 500; height: 50; font-size: 21px; font-family: Arial Black; color:######; Filter: Glow(color=######, strength=20)">TEXT HERE</span> |
