Now that you’ve learned the basics of planning for, opening, editing, and saving a web page, you’re ready to learn about editing the content. The original versions of HTML allowed you many ways to format text on a web page. However, most of these methods were deprecated by the W3C when they later revised the HTML standards. This means the W3C discourages the use of those tags, in favor of style sheets. Why? Because separating the styling details from the rest of the content makes for a much cleaner, more efficient web page one more easily understood by browsers, search engines, and even your web site visitors.

 

 

In this chapter, we will cover the following subjects:

• Organize Sections of Text
• Format Paragraphs and Page Elements
• Add Headings
• Add Logical Emphasis to Sections of Text
• Style Sections of Text by Changing Font Characteristics
