Foil 12 Formatting a Web Page: Miscellaneous Topics

From Introduction to HTML--ECS400 fall 97 ECS400 Senior Undergraduate Course -- Spring Semester 97. by Nancy J. McCracken *

There are tags for centering text within the window:
  • <center> Oriental Rug Company </center>
For a really startling effect, not particularly recommended!, there is a tag for blinking text.
  • <blink> Amazing New Products! </blink>
To separate areas of your web page, there is a horizontal line, <hr>, which draws a line the width of the current window. This tag also has attributes to control the appearance and placement of the line:
  • <hr size=number> gives the thickness of the line in pixels
  • <hr width=number|percent> specifies the width of the line either by the number of pixels or by a percentage of the current window
  • <hr align=left|right|center> is the placement of the line
  • <hr size=3 width="75%" align=center>
Comments can be given in the html file.
