For example, the title element represents the title of the document. In the HTML syntax, most elements are written with a start tag and an end tag, with the content in between.

I've given them mnemonically appropriate names: <p>Base font</p> <p><font size=5>Font size 5</font></p> <p><font size=-1>Font size -1</font></p> <p><font color=red>Red color</font></p> <p><font size=7 color=#00ff00>Font size 7 and Green color</font></p>.
