Basic text stuff

   OK, now that you know the basic structure of a page, I'm gonna teach you a couple of things you can do with text. I know this part is boring, but you have to do it if you want to learn Html. It’s just really basic stuff that you have to learn somehow. First up, you can add a line of space with this tag: <BR>, which stands for break. The <BR> tag is one of the few tags that don't have an ending tag, so you just write:

Some text<BR>Some text

This will give us:

Some text
Some text

   Same basic structure with the <P> tag, which stands for paragraph, and will add two lines. The <P> tag, in this way of using it, doesn't need a an ending tag, but we'll see later that it can be used in other ways which will need a </P> statement.

Next up: the <CENTER> tag, which, as I'm sure you guessed makes text centered. Used in this way:

<CENTER>Some text </CENTER>

Which'll give us:

Some text

Other tags that behave this way: The <B></B> tags for bold text and the <I> </I> tags for italic text.

For bigger and smaller text, you use the <H?> </H?> tags, in which the ? is a number from 1 to 6. Each one will give:

This is H1

This is H2

This is H3

This is H4

This is H5
This is H6

   These are the most common text tags and you should be OK with them for a while. Later, you can learn about more complicated and useless stuff in the Advanced text section ( when it's up and running, that is). Now, if you dare, we'll begin doing some really cool stuff in the next part: images.
