Yeah...I'll make an XHTMl tutorial...admin, in 1 year, blow this topic (as HTML will be terminated by XML)
Well...why use <font>??? It's the worst tag ever seen!

Because <font> is the basic html text formatting tag.

Yeah, its pretty much the basic tag!

Well...CSS is a basic thing now...a better way is to use SVG & JS to formatt the content (as I did in my header )

But i typed tutorial about basic formatting tags in html, not about css.

In any case, a very good basic guide to html.

Good guide for beginners.

mmmm, i think that noone should start with this anymore, i say that everyone should go to css inmediatly, so they don't get confused, i must admit that i started with this, but it was way before, with other technologies...

but good basic stuff anyway
