Adding HTML tags to your ecard message 

With HTML tags you can personalise your ecard message even further. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, and as the name implies you can use HTML tags to mark up text in many different ways. If you enclose the word you would like to change with any of the following tags, you will get the result shown below the tags. For example, if you surround the word 'example' with the following tags: <strong> </strong>, the word will appear strongly emphasised like this: example.

This page will show you how to:

• Use headings
• Change size
• Add emphasis
• Change colour
• Combine several HTML tags
• Add a link to a website

Use headings 

Note that depending of the browsers you and the person receiving the card are using, some of these HTML tags may display differently from the examples above, or may have no effect at all.

Change Size

Add emphasis

Change colour

Combine several HTML tags 

You can add several of these tags all at once, as long as you don't overlap one tag with another. The following is correct:

But the following could cause all sorts of strange problems, because the <span> tag is incorrectly closed before <big> tag instead of after :

<span style="color: red"><big><em>Big red emphasised text</em></span></big>

Add a link to a website 

To add a link, put the full web address inside an <a> tag, and any words you want to use for naming your link between the start and end tags, like this:

(The link in the example above goes back to the top of this page)
