You don't have to be a webmaster to have to use HTML. It can be very handy at times to know a little how to make some text look italic or bold or even like code. Today I'll show you how to make a few simple tags.
Note: This is basic stuff so if you know any html you probably already know this.
The basic tag anatomy
I'm not going to give a huge course on html or anything ( for that go to w3schools.com ). Mostly all you need to know for now is that all html tags are surrounded by angle brackets "<" ">". And that a closing tag has a forward slash "/" after the the first bracket.The bold (<b>) tag:
The bold tag will make you text look bold. Here's how you use it.
First you add the starting tag "<b>". Now you type the text you want bold. When you want the text to stop being bold you simply add this tag "</b>"
Example: <b> Text you want bold. </b>
Output: Text you want bold.
The italic (<i>)tag:
The italic tag uses the same form as the bold tag.
Example: <i> Text you want italic. </i>
Output: Text you want italic.
Other tags
There are many other tags that work the same way. Such as <code> </code> this gives you:
text that look like code. and <Blockquote> </Blockquote> this gives you text that looks like this.So now that you know how to use tags, Where do you use them? Well there are plenty of good places to use this comments on blogs, post in your own blog and email are just a few examples. Have fun! What are your favorite tags to use? Let me know in a comment!
