Goddies

some addons

Just nearby there are some additional functions in HTML, e.g. horizontal lines<HR>. That looks like :
or, using length and width: <HR SIZE=15 WIDTH=300>

and some special signs (here attention on case-sensitivity !) , that all start with & and end with;

copyright © &copy;
paragraph § &sect;
space , not ignoreable   &nbsp;
Umlauts, diacretics, for other languages :
&auml; ä   &Auml; Ä
&ouml; ö   &Ouml; Ö
&uuml; ü   &Uuml; Ü
&szlig; ß
&agrave; à   &Agrave; À
&acirc; â   &Acirc; Â
&aacute; á   &Aacute; Á
&egrave; è   &Egrave; È
&ecirc; ê   &Ecirc; Ê
&eacute; é   &Eacute; É
&euml; ë   &Euml; Ë
&ograve; ò   &Ograve; Ò
&ocirc; ô   &Ocirc; Ô
&oacute; ó   &Oacute; Ó
&igrave; ì   &Igrave; Ì
&icirc; î   &Icirc; Î
&iacute; í   &Iacute; Í
&iuml; ï   &Iuml; Ï
&ccedil; ç   &Ccedil; Ç


background colours are mantioned in the <BODY>-tag for the whole page and in the <TD>-tag for a single table celln as BGCOLOR=.


again the simple first sample, this time with background colour

<HTML>
  <HEAD>
    <TITLE>
      This is the title of my testpage
    </TITLE>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY BGCOLOR=LIGHTBLUE>
    <H1>
      This is the heading of my page
    </H1>
    <H3>
      This is a subheading
    </H3>
      And now , simple text including a <BR> linebreak
  </BODY>
 </HTML>
