HTML Basics
by Andy Rush


Formatting Paragraphs
 

Now you should have the basic understanding of how tags work and how to build up an HTML document. Here is what the HTML code looks like up to this point.

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Untitled</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<CENTER><H1>My Home Page</H1></CENTER>

<B>Welcome</B> to my <I>home page</I>. I hope you <U>enjoy</U> it.

</BODY>

</HTML>

The tags that follow will allow us to format our text, and paragraphs.

<P></P> Denotes a paragraph

<BR> Break tag, equivalent to a carriage return

<HR> Places a horizontal rule in the document

Notice that the last two tags don't come in pairs!

Show me what's been added to my document . . .
