HTML Fonts
The <font> tag in HTML is deprecated. It is supposed to be removed in a future version of HTML.
Even if a lot of people are using it, you should try to avoid it, and use styles instead.
The HTML <font> Tag
With HTML code like this, you can specify both the size and the type of the browser output :
<p> <font size="2" face="Verdana"> This is a paragraph. </font> </p> <p> <font size="3" face="Times"> This is another paragraph. </font> </p> |
Font Attributes
| Attribute | Example | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| size=”number” | size=”2″ | Defines the font size |
| size=”+number” | size=”+1″ | Increases the font size |
| size=”-number” | size=”-1″ | Decreases the font size |
| face=”face-name” | face=”Times” | Defines the font-name |
| color=”color-value” | color=”#eeff00″ | Defines the font color |
| color=”color-name” | color=”red” | Defines the font color |
The <font> Tag Should NOT be Used
The <font> tag is deprecated in the latest versions of HTML (HTML 4 and XHTML).
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has removed the <font> tag from its recommendations. In future versions of HTML, style sheets (CSS) will be used to define the layout and display properties of HTML elements.
