Formatting Text
Instructions on Formatting Text
Words have to Stand Out, Grab Your Attention, Catch the eye, and differentiate important information from the rest. It's very simple to add just a little bit of code to the text that you enter into the text fields to make selected text bold, itallic, underlined, or even a different color.
The most important thing to remember when working with HTML code is that it uses opening AND closing tags to define formatting.
For example, if you type:
<strong>Bold Text</strong>
into your form field and then preview your page, the text will be displayed as:
-
Bold Text.
If you accidently forget to enter the closing tag, and enter the following:
<em>This is Itallic Text, but this is not.
What will be displayed will be:
-
This is Itallic Text, but this is not.
If your results are not what you intended, always check and make sure that you have always used closing tags properly.
Below is a list of some of the common tags used in formatting text, along with their displayed results. You can easily choose to copy and paste the code sample into your pages, and then edit the text inside of the tags.
