Font Size

Now we are going to learn how to use the font size tag. Font is the technical term for text style. The font tag is a very commonly used tag in web page design. The font tag is a companion tag so it will have a closing tag. Remember that companion tags should be closed in the opposite direction of the opening tags.

There are seven basic font sizes these are numbered 1 through 7. 1 being the smallest and 7 being the largest.

To view these sizes create seven paragraphs in your text editor.

The font size tag is a companion type and is written as follows;

<font size="3">text to be sized</font>

Style each of the seven paragraphs with the font size tag, starting with the first paragraph size 1 and the seventh one size 7.The opening font size tag should be placed right after the opening paragraph tag. Place the closing font tag just before the closing paragraph tag.
