What Now?

In the last section you learned about the Elite Eight tags and you created your first web page. The web page you created was made up of HTML tags and plain text – kind of boring right? In this section, you will learn about HTML tags that you can use to format the text on your web page.

This section will provide an overview of formatting text tags. It is important to note that the future of HTML is transitioning from using formatting tags to incorporating Cascading Style Sheets so the discussion of methods for formatting text will not be extensive. 

Objectives

By the completion of the section, students will be able to:

  • Format HTML text using the following tags:
    • <p></p>
    • <h1…h6></h1…h6>
    • <strong></strong>
    • <em></em>
    • <ol></ol>
    • <ul><ul>
  • Use the <li></li> tags to add list items to an ordered list or an unordered list.
  • Add common attributes to HTML tags to make additional modifications to the text.
  • Nest tags correctly so as to ensure formatting of text is correct.
