HTML: Basic
 

Here is some simple html that anyone can use
[b] Bold
<center> Center Text or Image
<left> Center Left
<right> Center Right

Break Line or skip to the next line
<font color=xxx> Text Color xxx is the color
<font size=xxx> Change font size
[img]http//:img url.com[/img] Display an img.

Make sure to end all codes used with a </codeused>
ie. <center>Hello</center>

That html is rather useless imo, as in order to have any use for it one would need to actually create their own site, where knowledge of div's and css is much more important.

I suppose it can be used via forums, but then you already have BBCode, not to mention buttons where you can insert the HTML code with, but still I guess its useful in certain ways to beginners.

I dont mean to be rude but people that are just learning basic html should need to worry abotu xhtml.

Its best to laern all about html before you look at xhtml.

Not really its almost the same thing and over time the W3C is going to stop allowing HTML and just make it XHTNL.

Here's another good guide brought to you by the most well known site: http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/

Thats the website I used to learn most of my HTML and CSS, its highly recommended by alot of people, so yeah.

To clarify, it is more commonly used to add a space before the slash to close the tag. I.e.,

and


As for the

tag, wouldn't you be closing it later anyway?
