| Including Fancier Formatting |
You can format the HTML to give some fancy
effects such as adding colors, specify fonts and sizes, etc.
Although most of the browsers support these effects, not all browsers do!

Changing Background Image and Attribute |
One of the easiest ways to make the document
fascinating and beautiful is to add colors to the background.
You can change the view of the user by giving different colors
to the background and the text and its combination. The drawback
of setting colors is that we really do not have control over
the color set in the user's system. The user may set their
browsers to display what they prefer. You can specify the
colors with their names or using hexadecimal numbers.
The colors that are mentioned in hexadecimal
coding uses six digits, two for each proportion of red, green
and blue. But there is a list of web safe colors, which you
can use to avoid dithering. In hexadecimal numbering you use
numbers 1 to 9, 0, A, B, C, D, E, F. For example, "FF0000"
refers to bright red (no green and no blue at all).
| Specifying Fonts and Font Sizes |
You can use the <FONT>
tag to specify font characteristics for your document like
color, size and typeface. The <BASEFONT>
tag sets the text characteristics for the document. Again
there is a problem in using different font faces: we cannot
get assured that the visitor's machine has the same font!
Some of the fonts like Arial, Helvetica, Times, Courier are most commonly available.
Example:
<FONT FACE="helvetica" COLOR="#dc143c"
size="+2">…text…</FONT>
Change the font size using the <size>
attribute. You can change font with relation to the default
size (which is "3"). If the visitor has already
changed the default size then the relative sizing will change accordingly.
| Changing Background Image and Attribute |
The browsers display a white or gray background
by default, but you can change it to any color.
Syntax:
<BODY BGCOLOR="color" (or) "#ffffff">
Here "#" (number sign is added to the color specification)
