Text Styles and Symbols Overview
This lesson is about styling text for visual effect and how to use block-level styles, symbols, and foreign language content so that the meaning is communicated clearly to all.
A key principle is to use HTML code as it was intended. These are some unorthodox ways people are tempted to use code.
Do not:
- use
<h>
tags for styling text for visual effect when the text is not a heading, - use blockquote tags for non-quoted material to get indented margins, or
- use table code to lay out elements on a page in relation to each other.
