Formatting text

Plain text is okay, but we're used to using bold and italics and other formats to make our text interesting and stand out.

Bold - <b>. . .</b> (physical) or <strong>. . .</strong> (logical)
Italic - <i>. . .</i> (physical) or <em>. . .</em> (logical)

You can also alter the text by making it larger or smaller

<big>. . .</big> or <small;>. . .</small>

Each use of big or small will make the font one step bigger or smaller.

<big><big>.. .</big>.</big>

answer

Forced line break - <br>

Note that these are not paired tags. And we can add attributes to them. To alter the horizontal rule length and width, do the following:

<hr width="70%" size="5"> The "5" means 5 pixels high.
