If you are not familiar with using HTML, the following information might be useful:
- HTML is a markup language with tags enclosed in angle brackets
<>. Most HTML tags have a start tag that identifies the formatting to be applied and a matching end tag that begins with a forward slash, for example,
<b>your_content_here</b>When the < and & characters are followed by a letter, you must use a character entity reference to prevent these characters from being interpreted as HTML markup.
To type <, type <
To type &, type &
Most spaces and line breaks are considered unimportant for HTML formatting and are ignored.
See the following table for examples of some of the most commonly used formatting.
