- Highlighting the background of just a word or phrase:
This is a sentence with some Highlighted Text in it. Note also that the highlighted text is bold.
- This same technique can be used with a "p" instead of a "b." The "b" means "bold" while "p" means to start a new "paragraph."
Now this whole paragraph will have Highlighted Text in it. But none of the words are "bold."
- We can also use the "span" style tag for adding a different background color to text or to just one word in a text line! Just put this code into the line:
You will now see that two words in this paragraph have a background color.
For the above three tags, use the color name or a hexadecimal number preceded by "#" and, if necessary, adjust your font color to show over it...and don't miss the "colon" or it won't work for older browsers!
- Underlining a word in a sentence:
Here's a sentence with this word underlined.
- Combine two of the above effects:
This sentence combines two effects. Please note that you must use a "semi colon" between the "background" and the "text-decoration" attributes to separate them so browsers read the tag correctly.
