Web Sites made Easy

Headers are used to break up information of your webpage. A good example of using a header would be the title of your article. There are 6 levels of headers (<hn>). ‘N’ stands for any number 1-6. The size of the header font becomes smaller as your value of n becomes larger. They start at 24 and go down 18,14,12,10, and 8. You can use headers as anchors for navigating a visitor to your texts.

Paragraphs are what most of your content will be encompassed in. To move a paragraph up and down vertically use ‘line-height:n’. ‘N’ may either be a percent, ‘a’, or a number. N is a number multiplied by the font size, n% is a percentage of the font size and ‘a’ is an absolute value. To change space after a paragraph you should use margins and padding. Your paragraph may be aligned to a side by typing align=”direction”.

HTML and XHTML do not register extra spaces you place in your code. If you want to put an extra space in your design view you have to type & nbsp; in the code with no space between the & and ‘n’.
