Learn HTML lesson 02 - Font styles
In this lesson we will be learning about:
Changing text color and size.
Underlining, Bold and Italics.
Changing text color and size
For colorful text we need to use the <font> tag. You must type the words that you want the color to be applied to between the tags like this:
<font>Hello</font>
Now we must give the <font> tag the color property:
<font color="red">Hello</font>
You now see a red Hello in your web browser. You can also use hex value colors:
<font color="#FF0000">Hello</font>
The first 2 digits are for red, the next 2 are for green and the next 2 are for blue. I use this picture to remember it in my head:
|R|G|B|
If we want different size text then we still use the <font> tag but we use the size property. Example:
<font size="5">Hello</font>
SIZE has a range of 1-7. 1 being small and 7 being large. Let's see if you can do this:
Hello
Underlining, Bold and Italics
The <u> tags will underline the text between them:
<u>underlined</u>
Result:
underlined
The <b> tags will make the text between them bold:
<b>bold</b>
Result:
bold
The <i> tags will make text between italic:
<i>italics</i>
Result:
italics
