The first part of this lesson was to discuss attributes and this is a test of the break tag.
This tag makes the text space down to the next line.
Not like the paragraph tag which skips a space.

The break tag doesn't require an ending tag but the paragraph one does.

The align tag is used in conjunction with another tag and now I have made this paragraph align to the right. It is also used for placing images on pages as well. Without a closing tag the text will continue to align right until it is closed.

This center tag makes kind of a messy looking page but there may be times when you would like it to look like this. I had to add more text to this paragraph to demonstrate what I'm saying. I think sometimes we just want some space like a margin would be when typing but the center tag doesn't do that. If you want to have the text to be indented you should use the blockquote tag.

This is an example of double blockquote tags. You will notice that the text indents on both sides.

I used the h1 tag on the page title and the bold tag on the second line. I usually use the bold tag for all my text because I think it's easier to read but for this lesson I will leave it off.

The following are several hr tags showing the different alignment, location, and thickness. I'm using the break tag to leave an empty line between them.







The following are various lists available in HTML code.

    An Ordered List
  1. Fruit
  2. Vegetables
  3. Meats
    Nested Lists
  1. Fruit
  2. Vegetables
  3. Meats

Here I am showing some examples of some of the "special characters" mentioned in the lesson or shown on the link mentioned. I wish I had known about these earlier. I had a correspondence with someone in Switzerland and I wanted to try to write to him in German but didn't know how to get these characters. I believe there's something in Windows where you can add different languages and switch back and forth but when building web pages, this would be great.

This should insert a plus or minus sign ±. Yes, it's there. Now, one-fourth ¼, one-half ½ and three-quarters ¾. Here is a paragraph sign ¶ and a degree sign °. As part of the extra credit for this course I will use the code to show the opening and closing arrows for a tag. I am chosing the table tag. In order to explain to someone how to use the tag you would tell them to use <table> which will show the angled brackets without activating the tag.

I learn something every day and never knew about the "cheating" on the space tag by putting a natural space between each tag. That will save some time.
