Question: I have one word ONE\_WORD and I would like to make it little big bigger, change text style and color it in red. How can I do that?
I tried with this code, but it doesn't work:

```
<font color="#B00000 ">ONE_WORD</font>

```

thx, D.

Answer: 
you have to use style attribute to do that like:  

`<font style="color: #B00000>ONE_WORD</font>"`
If the code posted does not set the text color, then the problem is elsewhere, possibly in a style sheet that overrides this setting, or in browser settings (browsers can be set to ignore colors suggested on web pages).

People and organizations have various opinions, but technically the `font` tag keeps working, and you can also set font family and size there, e.g.

```
<font color="#B00000" face="Verdana" size="4">ONE_WORD</font>

```

This is however rather inflexible, since here font sizes are expressed by numbers from 1 to 7, so that 3 is normal size and others are something different, in a browser-dependent manner. To get better control, you can add a piece of CSS, e.g.

```
<font color="#B00000" face="Verdana" size="4"
      style="font-size: 135%">ONE_WORD</font>

```

To change text style to italic, you could wrap `<i>` and `</i>` around this; to get bold font, use `<b>` and `</b>` around.

And you can of course use semantically empty `span` markup and set everything in CSS, though there is little practical reason to do so for just styling an individual word.
