BASIC TEXT EDITING - SECTION 3

    This section is mainly about certain text effects generated by certain tags. For instance, if you want your text to be in 'bold', 'italic' or 'underlined', just insert the following tags :

<b>Bold</b>
<i>Italic</i>
<u>Underlined</u>

    This is what you will see on your browser :
Bold Italic Underlined

    If you have to insert mathematical equations, you can use both the <sub>(Subscript) and <sup> (Superscript) tags. Here's an example :

x² - y² = (x + y)(x - y)
(x₁ + x₂) ² =
x₁² + 2x₁x₂ + x₂²

    This will be the result on your homepage :
x²- y²= (x + y)(x - y)
(x₁+ x₂)²= x₁²+ 2x₁x₂+ x₂²

    Here's a list of tags that could be used on your homepage when necessary :

<abbrev>Abbreviations : BTW, PLS, IMHO, LOL</abbrev>
<acronym>Acronyms : NATO, UN, ASEAN</acronym>
<address>Used when typing your address</address>
<cite>Used for citations</cite>
<code>Used for displaying codes</code>
<dfn>Used for displaying definitions</dfn>
<em>Stressing a certain text</em>
<person>Names : Kuan Yew, Two5Kid</person>
<strong>Strong Typographic</strong>
<var>Used for showing variables</var>

    Look at these and notice their difference from regular text :
Abbreviations : BTW, PLS, IMHO, LOL
Acronyms : NATO, UN, ASEAN
