Changing Font Sizes

If you wish to change the size of the words you are writing, two different tags may be used. The first type of tag is the Heading tag that comes in six different sizes and is used by beginning with the tag, writing the text you wish to resize, and ending with the tag.

<H1>This is the largest heading.</H1>

<H2>This is the second largest heading.</H2>

<H3>This is the third largest heading.</H3>

<H4>This is the fourth largest heading.</H4>
<H5>This is the fifth largest heading.</H5>
<H6>This is the sixth largest heading.</H6>

The second type of tag is the 'FONT' tag, where you actually give the size, using the 'SIZE' attribute. The sizes range anywhere from 7 to 0 (relative sizes also work by placing a + or - before certain numbers), in the beginning tag :

<font size=7>This is 7.</font>
<font size=6>This is 6.</font>
<font size=5>This is 5.</font>
<font size=4>This is 4.</font>
<font size=3>This is 3.</font>
<font size=2>This is 2.</font>
<font size=1>This is 1.</font>
<font size=0>This is 0. It is the same size as 1.</font>

Some examples of relative sizes:

<font size=+2>This is +2.</font>
<font size=+1>This is +1.</font>
<font size=-1>This is -1.</font>
<font size=-2>This is -2.</font>
