           When should you use text- formatting attributes? The general rule that I like to follow is to use these tags only when they won’t interfere with other browsers, generally older ones. Similarly, although HTML 4.01 officially encourages web page authors to use style sheets rather than text formatting tags such as font and attributes such as align, support for style sheets still isn’t yet universal. So, for the time being, if you want to spiff up the appearance of you text, you must continue to use these tags and attributes.

·         You’ll learn more about formatting tags and attributes, as well as how to design well with them in lesson 15, “Creating Applications with Dynamic HTML and AJAX”.

SUMMARY

·         Tags, tags, and more tags! Today you learned about most of the remaining tags in the HTML language for presenting text, and quite a few of the tags for additional text for matting and presentation you also put together a real – life HTML home page. You could stop now and create quite presentable web pages, but cooler tuff is to come. So, don’t put down the book yet.

·         Table 6.2 presents a quick summary of all the tags and attributes you’ve learned about today that are included in the HTML 4.01 specification. Table 6.3 summarizes the CSS properties that have been described in today’s discussion.
