Basic HTML Text Formatting


This document uses a few additional formatting tags. Although not a complex application of HTML, it is much more visually sophisticated than a typical Internet plain-text document. Compare this to the source code to see the html tags that are used.

This document contains:

  • an h3 header
  • some horizontal rules
  • several paragraphs
  • bold text
  • an unnumbered list
 
<html>

Remember that all tags must be "closed" with a slash, "/". Notice in the markup source code above that the <hr /> and <br /> are also closed with a slash, even though there is only one single tag associated with these elements.
