Subject: Heading Commands and Font Size Commands

Heading commands are used extensively in HTML documents to create headings! How novel.

There are six (6) heading commands: H1 through H6. H1 is the largest and H6 is the smallest.

Heading commands create nice, bold text, and are quite easy to use. It's a simple H# and /H# command. However, they do have one annoying trait. They like to be alone.

When you use a heading command, by default, you set the text alone. It's like the heading commands carry a P command with them. You cannot get other text to sit right up against a heading.

Note: In later-version browsers (3.0 and above), the numbers 7 and 8 have been added, but in terms of size, there isn't a great deal of difference between them and the 6 heading.

Font Size Commands

Maybe you'd like a little more control over your text size. Well, here it is. The FONT SIZE commands. Heading commands are great for right at the top of the page, but these font commands are going to end up as the workhorses of your pages.

There are twelve (12) font size commands available to you:

+6 through +1 and -1 through -6.

As you've probably guessed, +6 is the largest (it's huge); -6 is the smallest (it's a little too small). Here are a few of them in action. There's no need to show all of them. You'll get the idea of their relative sizes. Follow this pattern to place one on your page.

This is +3

This is +1

This is -1

This is -6

there are two other attributes you can use inside the FONT tag: COLOR and FACE (these both have tutorials unto themselves. Take a look). But even if you use all three inside a FONT tag, you still only need one /FONT.

Remember that an attribute is inside of a tag. When you use an end command, you are closing the tag, not the attribute. So you only need the one end tag, like above.
