html

Here are some basic HyperText Mark-up Language (HTML) tags.

TagWhat it stands for - What it does
<br />
Break - inserts a single line space (return). Use when you want to make a second line in a bullet point, for example, or to make the lines of an address all line up under each other.
<hr>
Horizontal rule - inserts a horizontal line.
<ul>
Unordered list - begins a bulleted list.
</ul>
End unordered list.
<ol> Ordered list - begins a numbered list.
<ol type="a">
Ordered list - begins an alphabetically ordered list.
</ol>
End ordered list - closes list.
<li> List item - adds a bullet/number/letter to each item in a list.
</li> End list item - closes list item.
&nbsp;

Non-breaking space - a space that will never allow a line break between the two elements it connects. Use:

  • Between month and day, such as June&nbsp;10
  • In product names, such as PriorityMediare&nbsp;Rx
  • In phone numbers, such as 800&nbsp;464-8728
&reg;
® (Registered trademark) Example: Microsoft®. You can make the R mark smaller by superscripting it, as in: Microsoft<sup>&reg;</sup>
&eacute; e with acute accent mark. Example: Resumé
<tr valign="top">
Move text to top - aligns text in a table within a row to the top
[space] target="_blank" or [space] target="new"
Open a link in a new window
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
Back to Top
