Customising Your Page:

Most HTML codes (called tags) have an opening and closing form.
Text between the opening and closing tags takes on the format (look) of the code.
These codes must be typed in correctly for the computer's browser to be able to make the page.

<b> Bold text. </b>

<i> Italic text. </i> or

<b><i>Makes bold italic type</i></b>

<font size="5" color="blue">Font tags control color and size</font>

<p> Makes a new paragraph. Paragraphs always have an extra line before and after them. </p>

<br> This creates a line-break (return) with no extra space.
Text formatting carries over to the next line. <br> has no closing tag.
