Font families are sets of fonts, listed in order of preference. Because not all Web
visitors have the same fonts installed on their computers, you should use the fontfamily
attribute to help ensure that your Web site appears the way you want.
Font size is typically measured in pixels (px) for onscreen display. To specify size, use
the font-size attribute.
You can define font color by using any color description method, including RGB,
hexadecimal, and color names. Use the color attribute to define font color.
To set the background color for text, use the background-color attribute. To set the
background color for a paragraph, insert a style= attribute in the tag.
You can still use the tag to apply bold formatting and the tag to apply
italic formatting. In style sheets, you can also apply bold formatting by using
the font-weight: bold attribute, and italic formatting by using the font-style: italic
attribute.
For individual instances of strikethrough formatting, you can use the tag; for
individual instances of underlining, use the tag. To apply this formatting by
using styles, use font-decoration: line-through and font-decoration: underline.
Inline spans create tags that serve as containers for attributes. Use the tag
to surround any amount of text to be marked in some way.
Use the word-spacing attribute to define an amount of space between words. Use
letter-spacing to define space between letters. The default amount is 0; specify a
positive number to increase spacing or a negative number to decrease it.
