The <font> tag in HTML is deprecated. It is supposed to be removed in a future version of HTML.
Even if a lot of people are using it, you should try to avoid it, and use styles instead.
With HTML code like this, you can specify both the size and the type of the browser output :
<p> <font size="2" face="Verdana"> This is a paragraph. </font> </p> <p> <font size="3" face="Times"> This is another paragraph. </font> </p> |
| Attribute | Example | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| size="number" | size="2" | Defines the font size |
| size="+number" | size="+1" | Increases the font size |
| size="-number" | size="-1" | Decreases the font size |
| face="face-name" | face="Times" | Defines the font-name |
| color="color-value" | color="#eeff00" | Defines the font color |
| color="color-name" | color="red" | Defines the font color |
The <font> tag is deprecated in the latest versions of HTML (HTML 4 and XHTML).
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has removed the <font> tag from its recommendations. In future versions of HTML, style sheets (CSS) will be used to define the layout and display properties of HTML elements.
