<h1>This is the title that appears on the page. H1 is the largest size font.</h1>
<h2>This decreases down in size to h6 (too small). Expressions like this start with the font change, and the "/" form ends the font mode.</h2>
There is an automatic paragraph break after a font ending.
<p>
The <p> separates paragraphs. There is no indenting, except by
using lists. Blank lines can be used in the html file for clarity,
but they do not show up on the screen. Html files usually have a
.html extension.
<p>
An unnumbered list (called an unordered list) puts in bullets. <li>
is for each list item:
<ul>
<li> Boldface is accomplished by: <b> to be bolded </b>.
<li> Italics is accomplished by: <i> to be italicized </i>
<li> Preformatted text is included by: <pre> text </pre>
and then cannot be modified by html within the "pre" markers.
<li> Centering an area is done by: <center> lines and photos </center>
</ul>
<p>
A numbered (ordered) list is:
<ol>
<li> Item 1: Line breaks are accomplished by <br>
<li> Item 2: Advanced capabilities: tables, forms, backgrounds,
picture alignment, tables of contents with links to "anchors".
<li> Item 3: For more, see our link under Department called "WWW
Technical References", compiled by Tomasz Barszczak.
<li> Item 4: In practice, it is often easiest to copy html strings like
<a href="URL"></a> with the mouse or editor and paste them
repeatedly.
<li> Item 5: There is a mode file for emacs19 that provides pull-down
menus for html operations.
</ol>
<p>
The strength of the www page and html is making hyperlinks to
other pages:
<br>
<a href="URL">Printed Title for the Link
</a> which will be displayed as colored and
underlined, possibly followed by this extra descriptive text which is
not underlined or colored.
<p>
A URL (uniform resource locator name) outside of the directory
this document is held in usually reads like: <br>
http://www.specialtitle.edu/file.html
<br>
Inside the same web directory, the URL can just be the file name: file.html
<p>
You can put in a picture file, which is a .gif or .jpg file. Jpeg
(.jpg) files are much smaller and preferred for home viewers. Here's
how to put in one from a subdirectory called Images: <br>
<img src="Images/imagename.jpg">
This is the text describing the image.
<p>
<hr>This draws a horizontal line.
