HTML Tags

<address>

Provides contact information
for a person or people
or for an organization

<href>

This is an example of an anchor tag or link.

<abbr>

The abbreviation CSS stands for “Cascading Style Sheets”.

<cite>

“Code is poetry.” —Automattic

<code>

You will learn later on in these tests that word-wrap: break-word; will be your best friend.

<del>

This tag will let you strikeout text.

<em>

The emphasize tag should italicize text.

<ins>

This tag should denote inserted text.

<kbd>

This scarcely known tag emulates keyboard text, which is usually styled like the <code> tag.

<pre>

This tag styles large blocks of code.

.post-title {
	margin: 0 0 5px;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 38px;
	line-height: 1.2;
	and here's a line of some really, really, really, really long text, just to see how the PRE tag handles it and to find out how it overflows;
}

<q>

Just a short text, with automatically inserted quotation marks.

<strong>

This tag shows bold text.

<sub>

Getting our science styling on with H2O, which should push the “2” down.

<sup>

Still sticking with science and Albert Einstein’s E = MC2, which should lift the 2 up.

<var>

This allows you to denote variables.
