You want to try the fun stuff, huh? Okay.Go back to Introduction to HTML, and following the instructions, create an HTML document. Now, where the <body> is, type the different font styles, accents, and whatever else you’d like to play with.
To change a font type, use this:
<font face=”Bradley Hand ITC”> Hi everyone! </font>
Don’t forget the end tags!
The text should show up as:
Hi everyone!
To add color to your text, try this:
<font color=”red”> My name is Stephanie. </font>
You can use color names, or the hex, which ever you choose.
That shows up as:
My name is Stephanie.
Now, if you want to make your text big use this:
<font size=”12”> This is big text!</font>
That makes the text big, like this:
This is big text!
Now you can combine it all, like this,
<font face=”jokerman” size=”9” color=”blue”> Whee! Color, Big, AND Jokerman font! </font>
Whee! Color, Big, AND Jokerman Font!
