Text

Several commands allow you to group the text within specified forms.

P

Paragraph tags display text enclosed in its tags, ending with a new line/character return.

<p>information in the paragraph</p>

BR

This tag will create a new line/character return at any place in the document.  While the BR tag does not have a separate close tag, we close it using /> at the end.

<br />

You can put as many of these in a row as you want, or you can put them one after the other, vertically.

HR

This tag will create a horizontal line across the entire page.

<hr />

BLOCKQUOTE

<blockquote>indented section of text</blockquote>

Used to block indent a section of text and treat it as a block quote. The same style rules apply to block quotes as they do paragraph tags. These are used to separate a group of text or code off to the side. A practical example would be a common menu or a list of text links.

Header Text

<h1>Large header text</h1>
<h3>Medium header text</h3>
<h6>Small header text</h6>

Header tags are commonly used to create titles on pages. There are 6 different header tags (h1-h6).  They are bolded by default, and are proportional to the number associated with the header tag. The smaller the number, the larger the text is. You might find it easy to reference the number as important on a page (h1 being used for large titles, whereas h3 might be used as a sub-title for a specific section).
