Stay away from really small text, as it’s always too hard to read. Text one size greater than the browser’s default.
As shortcuts to these two sizes, there are the tags and, which helps.
#XMENU CHANGE TEXT TAG PLUS#
Plus 1 and minus 1 will be the ones you’ll use most. You have a range between +6 to +1 and -1 to -6. This is better because it adapts to your users’ preferences - if they have specifically set their browsers up to display larger text than normal, your text will grow in proportion. Relative sizing means the text will resize relatively to the user’s default size. The majority of sites will have their text set at around size 2 or 3. Most browsers have their default font size set as 3. Absolute sizes are between the range 1 and 7, and are set like this: You have two options when setting your text’s size: sizing it absolutely or relatively. Since you won’t be using it, of course, you should read this purely out of interest. The rest of this page is just a description of how the tag used to work. Read the introduction to stylesheets, and then CSS and text and you’ll never look back. If you have yet to tackle stylesheets at all, don’t be afraid - they’re really not all that hard to get to grips with.
Moreover, it’s just not necessary.ĬSS on the other hand, gives you far more control over how your text looks, and adds almost nothing to your download times. It is highly restrictive and can add multiple kilobytes to the filesizes of every one of your HTML files. To this end, I strongly discourage you from using the tag at all in your HTML. Somewhat tragically, there has been little decline in tag usage since then, so many years ago. This means that it should not be used anymore, since we have the vastly superior stylesheets at our disposal to format the text in our HTML pages. Ever since HTML 4.01 came out in 1998, the tag has been deprecated.
