Following
this paragraph, you will find a short list of other simple tags. Try
them out on your test.html file and see what they do.
TIP!
Don’t forget Save the Changes each time you add or subtract
tags or text from your test.html file:
|
<center>type
text here </center>
<s> type text here </s>
The next two tags
do not have closing versions. Try them and see what they do!

Extended Syntax Tags
So far, we have
used a very simple form of the HTML tag, consisting of the tag name in
between a lesser than character and a greater than character.
There is a
slightly more complex syntax for some tags called Extended Syntax
which looks like this:
Here is an
example of a new tag that uses this extended syntax. It's called the <font>
tag. The <font> tag cannot live on it's name alone. If
you were to type in the following, nothing would happen in the
browser:
<font>
some text here</font>
The
line, "some text here" would appear unchanged in the browser
window. What the <font> tag needs is an
attribute=value
pair. Here is an example of an attribute for
color with a value of red:
<font
color=red> type
some text to turn red here
</font>
To recap:
font
is the tag name
color is a tag attribute
red is a tag value
The text
between the opening and closing <font> tags will display as the
color shown for the value, in this case, “red.”
|
Note:
The closing tag for an extended syntax tag never repeats the attribute=value
pair - only the tag name,
in this case </font>!
|

Let's
type in a <font> tag into our item description and watch it in action!
