Working with Text: Formatting Tags

My centered heading

This is more or less the same page that we worked at last month, but now some words have been bolded and some italicized using the new tags we looked at in this month's article.

Text is very easy to handle in HTML, as long as you don't try to include special formatting characters inserted by word processors (such as bolding information, etc.) which comes out in the form of garbage characters when viewed in a Web browser.

This is the beginning of a second paragraph. Unlike last month's example, this time there is a break between paragraphs, done by inserting two BReak tags. Since HTML ignores things like carriage returns in your HTML code, it's necessary to include a BReak tag if you want a line break in a certain spot, or two BReak tags if you also want a blank line after the paragraph break.

The headings at the top of the page illustrate the use of the Heading tag, including the "CENTER" attribute. Now view the code for this page.
