HTML <font> Tag
The <font> tag in HTML plays an important role in the web page to create an attractive and readable web page. The font tag is used to change the color, size, and style of a text. The base font tag is used to set all the text to the same size, color and face.
Syntax:
<font attribute = "value"> Content </font>
Example: In this example, we have used the <font> tag with a font size as 5.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html><body> <h2>GeeksforGeeks</h2> <!--Normal paragraph tag--> <p>Hello Geeks!.</p> <!--font tag--> <font size="5"> Welcome to GeeksforGeeks </font> </body></html> |
