I apologize in advance if some of this stuff doesn’t work.
I did this only in Notepad.
Here’s a reference to do all the neat things you can do with HTML.
Just copy how the code is done and that’s all.
Part I - The Basics
Bolding:
<b>words in bold</b>
words in bold
Italics:
<i>words in italics</i>
words in italics
Underline:
<u>words underlined</u>
words underlined
Strikeout:
<strike>words crossed off</strike>
<strike>words crossed off</strike>
Centering text:
<p align=“center”>centered text</p>
<p align=“center”>centered text</p>
Marquee (only works in Internet Explorer):
<marquee>scrolling words</marquee>
<marquee>scrolling words</marquee>
Bouncing Marquee (only works in Internet Explorer):
<marquee behavior=“alternate”>bouncing words</marquee>
<marquee behavior=“alternate”>bouncing words</marquee>
Part II - Images and Hyperlinks
To display an image:
<img src=“web address of image goes here” alt=“alt tag goes here”>
So to display my “thumbs up” picture with the tag “cool”, I would type down-
<img src=“http://members.aol.com/lou826/thumb.gif” alt=“cool”>
<img src=“http:/members.aol.com/lou826/thumb.gif” alt=“cool”>
To make a hyperlink:
<a href=“web address goes here”>words to click on</a>
So if you wanted to link to The Onion, you would type down-
<a href=“http://www.theonion.com”>click here to read The Onion</a>
<a href=“http://www.theonion.com”>click here to read The Onion</a>
Part III - Fun with Fonts
To change font type:
<font face=“©”>a bunch of words</font>
Replace © with the name of the font you want to use.
So if you wanted to change the font to a typewriter style (Courier New),
you would type down-
<font face=“Courier New”>a bunch of words</font>
<font face=“Courier New”>a bunch of words</font>
To change font size:
<font size=©>words to make bigger or smaller</font>
Replace © with size numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 or 7.
<font size=1>size 1</font>
<font size=2>size 2</font>
<font size=3>size 3</font>
<font size=4>size 4</font>
<font size=5>size 5</font>
<font size=6>size 6</font>
<font size=7>size 7</font>
To change font color:
<font color=“©”>words in color</font>
Replace © with Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, or Purple
<font color=“red”>Red</font>
<font color=“orange”>Orange</font>
<font color=“yellow”>Yellow</font>
<font color=“green”>Green</font>
<font color=“blue”>Blue</font>
<font color=“purple”>Purple</font>
Part IV - Symbols!
These symbols can be found under the font names “Wingdings” and “Webdings”.
To use them, use the “To change font type” trick shown above.
Key:
<font face=“Courier New”>`1234567890-=
~!@#$%^&*()_+
ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
;’,./
{}:"<>?|
Wingdings Symbols:
`1234567890-=
~!@#$%^&*()_+
ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
;’,./
{}:"<>?|</font>
Webdings Symbols:
<font face=“Webdings” size=6>`1234567890-=
~!@#$%^&*()_+
ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
;’,./
{}:"<>?|</font>
Hope this helps out.
