Using HTML FONT Code
To Change Text Size
The <font></font> tags modify many aspects of text. Here, we grew the font size one size larger than the default of 3. Our font sizes vary between 1 and 6 with 6 being the largest.

Using HTML Heading Code
To Make A Text Heading
The <h?></h?> tags can modify the text to become a heading. It changes the size and makes the text bolder. One advantage of a heading over just using a font size is the special recognition by most search engines. Sizes for the <h?></h?> tags vary from 1 to 6 with 1 being the largest.

HTML Bold Code
HTML Underline Code
HTML Italics Code
HTML Code for Line Break
The <b></b> tags bold text, the <u></u> tags underline text and the <i></i> tags make text into italics.
The <br> tag does a line break. This is probably the most common tag of them all. The <br> tag doesn't have a closing tag.

HTML Code for Tab
HTML P Tag
Look at the text formatting in paper texts. Most of them started a paragraph with a tab and finish with a line break. Many web pages are formatted using the HTML P Tag (Paragraph). These paragraphs start at the beginning of the line, but finish with 2 line breaks instead of just one.
Notice I put in a tab just before the word "Look!." I haven't really found an actual HTML indent tag, so I just put in some tags, which are really fixed pitch spaces.
