When you create a web page, the HPCNet system converts the information that you supply into hypertext markup language (HTML). This language is what your browser, e.g. Netscape or Internet Explorer, uses to display your site on the Internet.

You have the option of enhancing your text fields using some of these simple HTML commands.

Opening HTML commands are enclosed in left < and right > angle brackets. Closing HTML commands are also enclosed in left < and right < angle brackets with the addition of a forward slash / after the left angle bracket. There is always a beginning command and a corresponding ending command. Useful commands include but are not limited to the following.

You can use any of these commands in any combination. If you wanted the statement "This is my site." to be in bold and centered on the page type:

View Code

The results would be as follows.

Note that the opening and closing commands are in reverse order; e.g. open bold, open center and then close center and close bold. The actual commands can be typed in either upper or lower case. You are welcome to use other HTML commands if you are familiar with more advanced HTML code.
