Another way to specify larger and smaller sizes of text, is to give font size.
  • <font size=value> where value is from 1 to 7
  • <font size=+1> to increase current size by 1
The default size is 3. Of course, this is all relative to the sizes chosen by the browser.
A Netscape 2.0 enhancement:
  • <font color=#HHHHHH>
where each pair HH of hexadecimal digits specifies a number. The three numbers are taken as Red, Green and Blue in the RGB color representation.
Netscape also allows certain predefined color names, e.g. "white".
Another Netscape 2.0 enhancement is providing tags for subscripts and superscripts <sub> and <sup>, HTML 3.0 has come out with more math tags.
