Text Modification

This is a minimal web page so that you can examine its underlying HTML without distractions. Try Ctrl-U!
WARNING! I'm far from a web wizard. There may well be better methods than those I describe.

• Underlined text
  <U>this is underlined</U> is rendered this is underlined
   
• Bold text
  <B>this is bold</B> is rendered this is bold
   
• Italicized text
  <I>this is italized</I> is rendered this is italized
   
• Headers
  <h1>Header 1</h1> <h2>Header 2</h2> <h3>Header 3</h3> is rendered

  Header 1

  Header 2

  Header 3

• Font size
  <FONT size=+1>Size 1</FONT> <FONT size=+2>Size 2</FONT> <FONT size=+3>Size 3</FONT> is rendered Size 1 Size 2 Size 3
   
• Font color
  <FONT color=black>Black</FONT> <FONT color=red>Red</FONT> <FONT color=blue>Blue</FONT> is rendered Black Red Blue
   
• New lines
  What you see is not what you get. 'This is not two lines' is rendered 'This is not two lines'

  To get a new line, use the break tag:

  'This IS <BR>two lines', producing: 'This IS
  two lines'

  To get a new paragraph (with a preceding blank line), use

  <P>
• Centered lines
  <CENTER>centered line</CENTER> is rendered centered line

  A more modern way is

  <DIV style=text-align:center>centered line</DIV>
• Indented text
  More what you see is not what you get. Browsers collapse spaces, so This is not indented text is rendered This is not indented text

  To get indentation, try this:

  Line 1 is not indented <BLOCKQUOTE>Line 2 is indented <BR>So is line 3 </BLOCKQUOTE> But line 4 is not. is rendered Line 1 is not indented

  Line 2 is indented
  So is line 3

  But line 4 is not.
   
• Subscripts and superscripts
  X₁ and X² are rendered X₁ and X²
   
• Subscripts and superscripts
  X₁ and X² are rendered X₁ and X²
   
• non-breaking space
  Sometimes you want to fill a cell with an invisible space or ensure that the browser does not separate two words. Non-breaking spaces will do this. They're also non-collapsable a b c d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e is rendered a b c d   e
