HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) provides a variety of tags that allow you to format the text on your web pages. Here are some of the most commonly used HTML text formatting tags:
- Heading tags: HTML provides six different levels of headings (h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6) to specify the importance of the content on your web page. Heading tags are typically used to create section headings and subheadings.
Example:
<h1>Main Heading</h1>
<h2>Subheading</h2>
<h3>Sub-subheading</h3>
- Bold and Italic tags: You can use the <b> and <i> tags to make text bold or italic, respectively.
Example:
<p>This is <b>bold</b> text and this is <i>italic</i> text.</p>
- Underline tag: The <u> tag can be used to underline text.
Example:
<p>This is <u>underlined</u> text.</p>
- Strikethrough tag: The <s> or <strike> tags can be used to add a strikethrough effect to text.
Example:
<p>This is <s>strikethrough</s> text.</p>
- Superscript and Subscript tags: The <sup> and <sub> tags can be used to create superscripts and subscripts, respectively.
Example:
<p>The chemical formula for water is H<sub>2</sub>O.</p>
<p>E=mc<sup>2</sup></p>
- Paragraph tag: The <p> tag is used to create paragraphs of text.
Example:
<p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
- Line break tag: The <br> tag is used to insert a line break within a paragraph.
Example:
<p>This is the first line.<br>This is the second line.</p>
These are just a few of the many HTML text formatting tags available to you. By using these tags effectively, you can make your web pages more visually appealing and easier to read.
