HTML Explained

Fonts

The size, color, and typeface of the text may be influenced by the <FONT> tag and the </FONT>end tag surrounding the text. The characteristics are determined by the attributes given to the <FONT> tag.

The SIZE attribute can have values between 1 and 7, where 3 is the default size:

<FONT SIZE="1">

<FONT SIZE="3">

<FONT SIZE="7">

The COLOR attribute uses RGB HEX values to determine the color, where the value is denoted by the # followed by 6 Hexadecimal characters. The 1st to 2nd hex characters represent the RED color component with values 1 to 255, 3rd to 4th represent GREEN values 1 to 255, and the 5th to 6th represent BLUE  values 1 to 255. for example:

<FONT COLOR="#FF0000">RED</FONT>

<FONT COLOR="#00FF00">GREEN</FONT>

<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">BLUE</FONT>

OR, a mixture of each color component:

<FONT COLOR="#FFFF00">YELLOW</FONT>

Some browsers also support the basic color names instead of the RGB Hexadecimal values, but are not guaranteed to appear on all browsers.

The preferred typeface may be specified, although the results are not guaranteed, as the browser platform must have the specified font already installed. If the font is not found, the default font is used.

The typeface may be specified with the FACE attribute, with all possible font names specified comma delimited, for example:

<FONT FACE="Helvetica, Arial">Different Font</FONT>
