session -5- OTHER HTML TAGS

Comment Tags

If you want to leave notes in an HTML document, but don't want those notes to show up in the browser window, use the comment tag -example<!-- Hi, I'm a comment. -->You can put comments but don't put any HTML markup within a comment tag.

Headings

Headings are commonly used to set apart document or section titles. For example Here are all six HTML pairs, in descending order of importance:

   <H1>Heading 1</H1> <H2>Heading 2</H2> <H3>Heading 3</H3>
   <H4>Heading 4</H4> <H5>Heading 5</H5> <H6>Heading 6</H6> 
      The H tag determines the size of the text by the number you put after it. 
Valid numbers for the script are from 1 - 6. 6 being the smallest.

The beginning of a paragraph is marked by <P>, and the end by </P>.

No matter how much whitespace you put between words, whether returns or spacebar hits, the words will be separated by one space in a Web browser.

Line Break

If you want to end a line after a certain word, but don't want to start a new paragraph? you need a line break, which is invoked by using the <BR> tag. This forces a line break wherever you place it in the content (that is, whatever is after the <BR> tag will start from the left margin of the next line on the screen.) there is no </BR> tag

Blockquote

Blockquotes are for long pieces of text which are quoted material and therefore need to be set apart and indented. For example:

This section of text is surrounded by the blockquote tags. A blockquote can exist inside of a paragraph, and always lives on its own line (that is, there is an implied line break before and after the blockquote, just as with headings or paragraphs themselves). <blockquote> ...text... </blockquote>
