CSS Text Formatting
These features must be used as arguments of the "style" argument of a "span" or "div" tag surrounding the text.
Attributes may be combined under style="" of the SPAN tag and seperated by a semicolon as such:
| Description | Attribute Syntax | Result |
| Underlined Text | text-decoration:underline | Underlined Text |
| Font Color | color:red | Red Text |
| Aligned Text | text-align:left/right/center | Text will be aligned to the left, right, or center |
| Change the Font | font-family:fontname | Text will be in style "fontname" |
| Font Size | font-size:200% | 2x Size Text |
Self-closing Tags
Tags that, by definition, contain nothing between the opening and closing tags must self-closewith a space and forward slash:
| Images | |
| Carriage Return | |
| Horizontal Breaking Line |

How to Create Tables
Simple data tables consist of three parts:
| Row 1, Cell 1 | Row 1, Cell 2 |
| Row 2, Cell 1 | Row 2, Cell 2 |
Since CSS attributes may be added to almost any HTML tag using the style attribute, the W3C Online School should be consulted for further table formatting using CSS, such as font and cell background color, padding, and height/width settings.
