Basic HTML Tags

HTML Tags Explained
In an HTML file instead of going to a menu to change a word so it becomes boldface, the user adds a tag () in front of the word and another () behind the word. For example, if you wanted to emphasize the word "help" by making it bold it would look like: help. You will notice HTML tags utilize the less than (<) and the greater than (>) symbols. In addition, the backslash (/) is used to "shutoff" the command. Since an HTML file uses tags you will not be able to see the actual formatting until you search and preview your online template.

Codes
Boldface-- bold
Italics-- italics
Break-- break (Starts text on the next line)
Indent Text-- <BLOCKQUOTE>To indent text use this tag.</BLOCKQUOTE>
