HTML.co.uk

For you to store style information there are three places. For all the three places, the syntax will be the same but for the sake of clarity, here we are going to discuss the styles that are placed in of the document.

Rules

1.The entire style information must be stored within the </style> and <style> element. By doing so, browser will come to know that the information stored is for styles.
2.you have to include type attributes always
This attributes will indicate what type of style rules you are going to use. The style that is commonly used is CSS but other than CSS, there are other types as wee such as (JSS, XSL and many others).
3.In the comment tags, enclose all the style rules

By doing so, it ensures you that the older browsers even by mistake will not display style rules.

Mainly, the style rule is comprised of 2 things, the declaration and selector.

Declaration – this is a specific style call that will be helpful to affect the selector

Selector – this HTML element is the one that will be very much affected by the rule.

The syntax for the style rule will be ‘selector {property: value ;}’

So, in order to set all the bold text into red, you can write ‘b {colour: red ;}’

The thing that makes the usage of CSS very easy is that you will be able to group the components together that you like to have the similar style. Take for example: if you want all the H1, H2 and the entire bold text in red, you can write

‘b {colour: red ;}’
‘h1 {colour: red;}’
‘h2 {colour: red;}’

however, with the help of grouping, you will be able to put all of them on the same line.
‘b, h1, h2 {colour: red;}’
you can even group the rule together. Take for example, in order to make all the h3 text blue and font in Arial, you can write
You can also group together rules (separated by a semi-colon (;) ). For example, to make all h3 text blue and Arial fonts, you would write:

‘h3 {
font-family: Arial;
colour: blue;
}’
Just for convention, we can put all the rules in separate line but it is not very much required.

Some Common Styles
There are different font attributes that are used commonly.
Font family – this specifies the font face that to be used.
Font-size – it will specify the text size.
Font-style – it will specify whether the text will be displayed in normal, oblique or italic.
Font variant – it will specify whether the text to be displayed in normal or small caps.
Font-weight – it will specify how dark or light the text will be
The other style that is commonly used is the ‘text-decoration’. Along with this tag, you will be able to remove underlines from various links, put the lines through the marked out text or else can make the text blink.

HTML has successfully initiated the web language era. It all began with Lee’s attempts i.e., the new era of web based services. Lee tried to share documents between two computers and for that purpose he developed the HTML language. A language developed solely for sharing purposes has come a long way and is the most widely used to link documents on your web browser and determine the documents’ attributes and layouts.

HTML is not the only language used for this purpose, but is the main tool for web page designing and linking. Its competitive features and user friendly approach have made it a hit with all programmers involved in designing. Once you get the feel of this language, you too will find it easy to use. We already know a many things about the HTML language. Here we will solely discuss the fonts and colours used in the HTML language. You can add some fonts to the web browsers other than the ones normally used. Many web pages do not support the use of extended fonts or colours i.e. there is no option for font or colours in the web page. You can even add a font or colour tool to the web page. In this way you can change the font type or the colour of the font. Now this can be done using a simple code.

FACE=&quotfont_name”
Let us check out a few examples of how you can have your own extended font on the web page.

Verdana font. For this simply use this code: <font size=+2 face=”Verdana”>Verdana</font>
Arial font. For this simply use this code: <font size=+2 face=”Arial”>Arial</font>
Helvetica font. For this simply use this code: <font size=+2 face=”Helvetica”>Helvetica</font>
Comic Sans font. For this simply use this code: <font size=+2 face=”Comic Sans MS”>Comic Sans MS</font>
Font impact. For this simply use this code: <font size=+2 face=”Impact”>Impact</font>

You can clearly understand the structure from one code itself. The necessity for so many examples is that you need to understand that there is a basic similarity and what it is. You just need to change the name of the font for the type of font you want in the tool bar. Otherwise the code remains the same whatever the font you are interested in.

Now that is simple isn’t it? No wonder most people prefer using the HTML codes for scripting for web pages instead of any other language. You should also remember that for you to see the above fonts or the fonts you want, the web browser you use should support the fonts. Now that we have seen the fonts, why don’t we move on to the colours? You can change the text colour too if you so desire. All you need to do for that is use COLOR=”font color” in the tag. With this code you can change the colour according to your choice. E.g. If you want your font colour to be yellow all you need to do is write Hey I’m Yellow! and font colour is yellow.
Simple , isn’t it?
