Basic HTML

Although it's possible to make an entire site without using html code, or knowing it, learning a few basic characters can be helpful when trying to fine tune your design. Be sure, if you use these characters, to edit them in html window.

Placing a lowercase character in between two angled brackets  before a word, or group of words will change the format of the letters. After the phrase or section you are editing use a backslash and lowercase letter between another two angled brackets. The angled brackets without the slash order where to start the change, and the angled brackets with the slash order where to stop the edit. For example, to bold a group of words use a lowercase "b" between the angled brackets: <b>a group of word</b> in the html view will show up as: a group of words in your design.

To italicise a word or group of words, a lowercase "i" is used. For example: <i>a group of words</i> in the html view will show up as : a group of words in your design.

To underline, use a lowercase "u." For example: <u>a group of word </u> in the html view show up as: a group of words in your design.

If you are making a list and want to cross items off, you can use a strikethrough. In between the angled brackets you can use either a lowercase "s" or write the word "strike"

For example: <s> a group of words </s> OR <strike>a group of words</strike> in the html view will show up as: a group of words in your designed.

Finally, if you want to add a line of space between paragraphs or objects, using a lowercase "br" between the brackets will achieve this. This is called a "break" and there is no need to follow it with a backslashed version. For example: will add a line of space between text. Adding a second will add another line.
