# Text Formatting Tags
HTML brings some tags for structuring and formatting your text.
Tag | |
---|---|
<p> | A paragraph. Adds space before and after the text. The most used HTML element - the default block-level element |
<br> | A line break. Single tag without closing tag. |
<div> | A box. Unlike <p> , <div> doesn’t add space before or after the text. |
<h1> | A headline. You can choose from <h1> (largest) to <h6> (smallest). |
<b> | Makes the text bold. Inline tag: does not break the text. |
<i> | Makes the text italic. Inline tag: does not break the text. |
<u> | Underlines the text. Inline tag: does not break the text. |
<small> | Makes the text smaller. Inline tag: does not break the text. |

# HTML File-Paths
Path | |
---|---|
<img src="picture.jpg"> | The "picture.jpg" file is located in the same folder as the current page |
<img src="images/picture.jpg"> | The "picture.jpg" file is located in the images folder in the current folder |
<img src="/images/picture.jpg"> | The "picture.jpg" file is located in the images folder at the root of the current web |
<img src="../picture.jpg"> | The "picture.jpg" file is located in the folder one level up from the current folder |
./resources/css/index.css | |
./ | same folder |
It is best practice to use relative file paths (if possible).

# Images
<img src="path/to/picture.jpg" alt="funny cat picture" />
Most retina displays use double the amount of pixels, so it is a good rule of thumb to make your images double the size of how you want them to include in your HTML document. In the example of the 500x500 pixels profile picture, you need to prepare the image so that it is 1000x1000 pixels wide
