Summary

This hour showed you how to make text appear as boldface or italic, or with superscripts, subscripts, underlines, crossed-out text, special symbols, and accented letters. You saw how to make everything line up properly in preformatted passages of monospaced text and how to control the size, color, and typeface of any section of text on a Web page.

Table 6.3 summarizes the tags and attributes discussed in this hour. Don't feel like you have to memorize all these tags, by the way! That's why you have this book: You can look them up when you need them. Remember that all the HTML tags are listed in Appendix C, "Complete HTML 4 Quick Reference," and all the special character codes can be found in Appendix D.
