HTML BASICS For use on EP:

1. CENTERING TEXT:

Here is the code to center "Emerging Poets" :
    
<center>Emerging Poets</center>
Use the 'Center' tags to center any text entered between the tags.

 

2. PARAGRAPH ALIGNMENT LEFT AND RIGHT  and CENTER
   
Use the 'p align' tags to align any text entered between the tags.
The paragraph tag "p" starts a new paragraph, equivalent to two BR tags. 
Always end or close your code. in this instance, the end  would be "</p>"
     
<p align="right">Emerging Poets</p>
     <p align="left">Emerging Poets</p>
     <p align="center">Emerging Poets</p>
 

3. Line break = <br> 
FYI: In your word processor, you can hold down the shift key and then press enter to force a single space line in your document.

4. BOLD, Italics and underline and size tags:
<b> and </b> for bold
<i>
and </i> for italics,
<u> and </u> for underlined,
<font size=n> and </font>
 (the "n" equals a number try it with a 1 and then try it with a 5... see the difference)

 

5.  FONT COLOR AND TYPE
For the font color you can use simple words, or you can use the hex number for a color.
For the font type, you will need to know the exact name of the font type you wish to use.

<font color=pink>Emerging Poets</font>
<font type=STENCIL>
Emerging Poets</font>


Here is how you can combine commands:
<font type=Times New Roman color=orange size=+5>testing <u>this </u>out </font>

You can add the <center> </center> commands at the beginning and at the end of the line above to center the text.
Whatever you place between the 'tags', will be altered. Make sure you end your tags.
