HTML Tag
The tag defines the font characteristics. Size, color and typeface are defined by the size , color and face attributes.
Syntax
The tag comes in pairs. The content is written between the opening () and closing () tags.
Example of using HTML tag:
html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> p> font size="2" color="#1c87c9">Blue text font> p> p> font size="3" color="red">Red text, font size increased. font> p> p> font face="arial" color="#8ebf42">Green text, typeface changed. font> p> body> html>Result
CSS Styles
To change the text color, use the CSS color property instead of the color attribute. CSS font-family or font-face properties replace the face attribute, and instead of the size attribute, the CSS font-size property is used.
Example of changing the style of the text with CSS:
html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> p style="font-size:16px; color:#1c87c9;">Blue text. p> p style="font-size:18px; color:red;">Red text, font size increased. p> p style="font-size:18px; color:#8ebf42; font-family:arial;">Green text, typeface changed. p> body> html>Attributes
| Attribute | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| color | rgb (x, x, x) #xxxxxx colorname | Sets the color of the text. |
| face | font_family | Sets the typeface. |
| size | number | Sets the size of the text. |
