HTML paragraph formats

You can add structure to your text by using HTML paragraph formats which add a blank line before and after the

formatted text in most browsers:

Header Use for text that describes the topic of the section that follows the heading and to define a heading’s level of

importance in the heading hierarchy. Most browsers display header text in bold and with a particular character point

size, where Header 1 is the largest and Header 6 is the smallest size.

Address Use for a block of text that contains a document author’s contact information.

Preformatted Retains the character spacing, line spacing, and white space in blocks of text. This is useful for

retaining the structure of text you’ve copied in another application, such as columns of text, or presenting source code

with its proper spacing. Most browsers display preformatted text in a monospaced font.

Paragraph Use when you want to use the default paragraph format in the browser’s preferences.

None Use when you want to remove the blank lines before and after a range of text and remove all paragraph

formatting.

All HTML paragraph formats can be enhanced with cascading stylesheets and CSS element styles. See “About HTML

element styles” on page 326.

To format a heading, address, or preformatted paragraph

1 Click anywhere in the paragraph that you want to format.

2 Choose a format from the Type > Paragraph Format menu or the Paragraph Format pop-up menu on the Main

toolbar.

When you’re setting up your pages to use with cascading stylesheets, drag these formatted paragraphs into the HTML

Styles palette so you can quickly apply headings or other paragraph structures to other text.

3 To reset a selected paragraph to the default format, choose Type > Paragraph Format > Paragraph.
