Chapter 2: Text
Headings
HTML has 6 different heading sizes, H1 being the largest and goes to H6, which is the smallest. depending on your screen H1 can be different to someone else looking at your webpage. You can also edit color, size, and font in CSS. Under headings you often find paragraphs about what ever your reading, and is easy to code just add a p with both arrows around it to make a new paragraph when coding. the defult will also add space in between it and any subsequent paragraph.
Line breaks & Horizontal rules
Said before each new paragraph or heading will be shown on a new line, but if needed you can use a line break wherever you need it like in the heading or paragraph. If you wanted to create a break between themes, topics, or scenes in a play you are writing about you will need a horizontal rule. There are few tags that have empty elements in them. Most of the time they are written differently and often don't require a closing tag. When using a horizontal rule don't forget to put the forward slash at the end of the tag or it won't work right.
Visual editors & their code views
Visual editors and word processors often look alike. Even though each editor will differ slightly they will have some common features to most editors that will allow you to control the presentation of the text. Be careful of how you copy and paste because you might format text that may add an extra markup. Code view shows you the code that you are typing with the visual editor so you can edit right then and there. If code view doesn't pop up for you there may be a button that you can activate to see code view.
Chapter 11: Color
Foreground color
The color property allows you to specify the color of your text inside an element. There are three way to specify color in CSS and they include RGB values, hex codes, and color names. for color names there are only 147 predifined names that browsers can recognize. If you need too you can label your color style with /*(color name) */ and won't be read by the CSS file.
Background color
CSS treats each HTML element as if it has its own box around it, and background color sets the background color of that box. To specify your background color you have the same options as foreground color: RBG, color names, and hex codes. If you don't specify a background color it will just show up as transparent. Usually browsers have a white background color to them, but some don't so if you want your background color to be white across all platforms make it a white background.
Color
To create the colors you see on the screen, the computer screen uses mixes of RGB colors, If you want a select color use the color picker. RGB value stands fro red, green, and blue and is expressed by numbers ranging from 0 to 255. Hex codes represent values for red, green, and blue in hexadecimal codes. Color names are represented by predefind names in the system, and only has a limited number. Hue gives you a range of colors to choose from. Saturation refers to the amount of gray that is in the color, so at the highest point there would be no gray, and the lowest point it would be mostly gray. Brightness refers to how much black is in the color, at the highest point it would just be the color and at the lowest point it would be all black.
