Markup Tag Reference Guide

• TITLE sets the title of your HTML document to whatever you specify. Example:

  
  <TITLE>My Web Page</TITLE>
  
  

• H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6 let you make headers. Example:

  
  <H1>This is a big header</H1>
  
  <H6>This is a tiny header</H6>
  
  

• P lets you specify a paragraph, line break followed by a blank line. Example:

  
  Joe said, "Isn't this a nice Paragraph?"<P>
  
  "Not really, I kinda like this Paragraph more," said Bobby.
  
  

• BR puts in a line break. Example:

  
  Roses are red,<BR>
  Violots are blue;<BR>
  I can do line breaks,<BR>
  ...but can you do them too?
  
  

• A HREF lets you create links. Here's an example:

  
  If you like fishing on the Sandy River, visit the <A HREF =
  
  "http://www.europa.com/~timp/">Sandy River Fishing Homepage</A>.
  
  

• IMG SRC lets you pop in a Example:

  
  Here's a picture of my dog: <IMG SRC="mydog.gif" alt="[MY DOG]">
  
  

• B puts text in bold. Example:

  
  The dog said, "I'm so <B>hungry</B>!"
  
  

• I puts text in italic. Example:

  
  But then the <I>owner</I> said...
  
  

• HR draws a horizontal rule/line wherever you throw it in. Example:

  
  ...blah blah, blah.  That concludes the first section.
  
  <HR>
  
  And so this is the second section... blah blah blah...
  
  

• UL and OL start lists. (This page is actually a giant UL list). Example:

  
  <OL>
  
  <LI>This is the first part of my list
  
  <LI>This is the second.
  
  </OL>
  
  

• CENTER centers an area of text. Example:

  
  <CENTER>Run Fido, Run</CENTER>
  
  

• PRE is for preformatted. This will draw down in a uniform font, (usually courier), and preserve any spacing you have in the text between <PRE> and </PRE>. PRE was used for the examples on this page. Here's an example:

  
  Blah Blah, Blah.  See the file:
  
  <PRE>
  
    c:\blah\blah.exe           Now some more text with a bunch of spaces
    You could line             things up.
  
  </PRE>
