Use these tags to quickly and easily give your page a basic, bare-bones format.

Header Tags
|
The tags for headings are as follows: <H1></H1>, <H2></H2>, etc. Note that the heading tag includes boldface and a line return. These tags should only be used as headings of sections and not for bold face. Be sure that you always include the ending tag!
This is H1
This is H2
This is H3
This is H4
This is H5
This is H6

You can also use the WIDTH, SIZE, and ALIGN attributes to vary the style of the horizontal rule. For example, the following tag:
<HR WIDTH="50%" SIZE="10" ALIGN="CENTER">
produces the following output:
It is strongly urged that you use horizontal rules sparingly. They can be a nice design element, but are often overused.
