Beginner's Guide - Text Formatting

Here are your basic text formatting containers:

If you have done anything in HTML before, you probably know that <B> means bold and <I> means italic and <U> means underline. Aside from those, <S>, sometimes called <STRIKE>, strikes through text. There's also <TT>, which creates monospaced teletype text. <BIG> and <SMALL> make text big and small, while <SUB> and <SUP> create _subscripts and ^superscripts. <BLINK> makes text blink on Netscape browsers. Finally, you can combine these tags, but try to avoid formatting overkill.
