17. Mini HTML Guide - Basic Tags
When editing content using a database admin, a few basic HTML tags should be known:
Line breaks / Paragraphs
To add line breaks:
<br> - This will add a single line break
<p>Text here</p> - This will add a new paragraph (will leave
a gap between content above and below). Place text between the
tags.
Bold tags:
To make text bold place <b> </b> tags around the text you want to make bold, e.g:
<b> Bold Text </b> or <strong> Bold Text </strong>
Italic tags:
To make text italic place <i> </i> tags around the text you want to make italic, e.g:
<i> Italic Text </i> or <em> Italic Text </em>
Image tags:
To add in an image:
<img src="image1.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt="My Image" align="default" />
src = where the image is
width = the width of the image
height = the height of the image
alt = description of image (will produce text when image is hovered over)
align = allows you to align text with text wrapped around (values are: left, right, middle). The default value is 'default'.
Anchor (Link) tags:
To add a link use the anchor tag:
<a href="http://www.axiomdesign.co.uk" target="_blank">Link text here</a>
href = the location where the link will go
target = The two main values to note here are _blank, which will open a new window and leaving the value blank will allow the link to open in the same window.
Link text here = This is where the text for the link will go
Header tags:
To add headers to your pages:
<h1>Header 1 Text Here</h1> - The largest of header
<h2>Header 2 Text Here</h2> - Next size down
Header tags generally work by the larger the number the smaller
the font*
These tags can be very useful as they will help to increase
your search engine ranking.
Font tags:
To increase font sizes and change the colour of fonts:
<font size="2" color="#FF0000">Text here</font>
size = the higher the number the bigger the font.
color = changes the colour of the font contained in the font tags
Some example colours:
#FF0000 = Red
#0000CC = Blue
#336600 = Green
Please Note: Color is meant to be spelt the American way.
Many more tags are available to use but these should give a good starting point to edit your content.
