Font Tag Fun

First off, I need to tell you nice folks that the font tag is not gonna be around much longer, it's already deprecated (obsolete, dead meat) in the latest versions of HTML and XHTML. Instead, CSS (a style sheet) is the new standard for describing fonts. That said, many many people still use font tags, and I'm going to use them on this page in addition to my CSS.

<font></font> This is it, you can add attributes and styles to this tag, as in this example:
<font color="#FF0000" size="2" ></font>

You only need to put the word font at the beginning, add the styles afterwards with a space between each. And notice the use of quotation marks, don't forget 'em!

<font color="red"></font> Color tag, can use hexidecimal or web color.
<font size=2></font> Can use sizes 1 to 7, or +1 to +7, or -1 to -7. The + and - ones add or subtract to/from the default font in use. Personally, if I was to use font sizing (which I don't because CSS does such a smarter job...read about it), I'd use the straight 1-7 format, as the others will be affected by how your visitors browser is setup. Here are a couple examples using the font size attribute:

This is size 1, this is size 5

<b></b> Bold tag, makes stuff bold (can also use <strong></strong>)
<i></i> Italics tag, puts it in italics
<u></u> Underline tag, underlines stuff
<tt></tt> Typewriter tag, looks like a typewriter
<s></s> Strikethrough tag, puts a line through your text (also can use <strike></strike>)
 Subscript tag, _{lowers text and makes it smaller}

 Superscript tag, ^{raises text and makes it smaller}
