This section includes the tags often used for formatting the HTML text.
<font>
The <font> tag is used to change the format of the text on the web page. The most important attributes are as follows:
- face: The type of font. Common ones include "Time New Roman", "Verdana", and "Helvetica."
- size: This indicates the size of the text. This can be absolute (0 .. 6), or relative ("+1", "+2", ... or "-1", "-2" ...)
- color: This indicates the color of the text. Either the color name or the
six-character color code may be used to specify color.
Below are some examples:

The header tags <h1>, ... <h6> allows us to place additional
importance on the text within such tags. <h1> has the largest size,
and <h6> the smallest. Many search engines put additional weight on
the texts within the header tags.

HTML:
<h1>This is h1 text.</h1>
<h2>This is h2 text.</h2>
<h3>This is h3 text.</h3>
<h4>This is h4 text.</h4>
<h5>This is h5 text.</h5>
<h6>This is h6 text.</h6>
