HTML Coding Part II

The heading tags are what most people use for their titles, except if they have a logo. Headers are very useful. They can add style to many of your pages by using them intelligently .

Usage Syntax:
<h*>
Header
</h*>
Where * is a number 1 through 6. 1 being the biggest and 6 being the smallest.

The paragraph tag is definetely one of the more useful tags around, yet one of the simplest. There is no closing tag for it. All it does is skips a line in your file therfore creating paragraphs.

Usage Syntax:
<p>
Paragraph
And do it all over again.

This tag is similar to the paragraph tag except it doesn't skip a line. It is the equivalent to pressing the enter button. It finishes the text on that line and then skips down to next line. There is no closing tag for this tag.

Usage Syntax:
<br>

The unordered list is very useful when designing an index page. It let's you make a list without having to worry about the nubmering because the uses bullets (or symbols) to indicate each new item. For this tag you need to use another tag to define each list item. Before each new list item you must put the item tag.

Usage Syntax:
<ul>
<li> <- Item Tag
</ul>

The ordered list is much like the unordered list except that instead of symbols, it uses number. It goes progessively from 1 to infinity. The tagging is the same. You need to use the item tag for each list item.

Usage Syntax:
<ol>
<li> <- List Item
</ol>
