Formatting Text with HTML Tags

On Eventfinity many text areas are html friendly.
The following HTML tags are some used to format the appearance of the text in these areas.

• Header - <h#> </h#>
  • There are 6 levels of headings available, from <h1> for the largest and most important heading, down to <h6> for the smallest heading.
• Bold - <b> </b>
  • The text in between the tags will be bold, and stand out against text around it, the same as in a word processor.
• Italic - <i> </i>
  • Also working the same way as a word processor, italics displays the text at a slight angle.
• Underline - <u> </u>
  • Again, the same as underline in a word processor. Note that html links are already underlined and don't need the extra tag.
• Strike-out - <strike> </strike>
  • Puts a line right through the center of the text, crossing it out. Often used to show that text is old and no longer relevant. Also works by using <s> </s> instead.
• Small - <small> </small>
  • Instead of having to set a font size, you can use the small tag to render text slightly smaller than the text around it. Useful for displaying the 'fine-print'.
• Font Color - <font color="#??????"> </font> (*)
  • Change the color of a section of text. The 6 question marks represent the hex color code.
• Font Size - <font size="?"> </font>
  • Replace the ? with a number from 1 to 7 to change the size of the font. One being the smallest and seven the largest. (*)
• Font Size Change - <font size="+/-?"> </font>
  • For an immediate change of font size with respect to the font size preceding it, this tag increase or decreases the size of the font by the number you specify. Eg: <font size="-1">Some Text</font> (*)
• Change Font Face - <font face="?"> </font>
  • To show text in a particular font, use the font name such "Helvetica" or "Arial" or "Courier". Be aware that using some fancy font from your computer means that the person viewing that page must also have that font installed on their computer too, otherwise it will look totally different to them. (*)
• Emphasis - <em> </em>
  • Used to emphasize text, which usually appears in italics, but can vary according to your browser.
• Strong Emphasis - <strong> </strong>
  • Used to emphasize text more, which usually appears in bold, but can vary according to your browser.
