HTML & CSS - CH 3&12

Topic One: Ordered and Unordered lists

Ordered lists (numbered lists) are created using the <ol> element, with each line of the list being place between the opening and closing list tags of <li> and </li>. The same goes for creating an unordered list (bullet points), which uses the <ul> element and the same opening and closing tags of <li> and </li>. There are also elements for definition lists and nested lists.


Topic Two: Font Choices

Font family can be selected from the common typefaces available on most computers by selecting which element you which the font family to be applied to and using the declaration “font-family.” Another way to do this is to use the declaration “@font-face,” which allows designers to choose from a broader range of open-source font families available online. Google Fonts can also be used as well by linking to font files from their servers.


Topic Three: Font Weight and Style

The font-weight property allows designers to create bold text by using the declaration “font-weight” and the value “bold.” The value “normal” will cause the text to appear at its regular weight. Font style can be selected by using the “font-style” declaration and the value “normal,” “italic,” or oblique.”
