Font Size (using HTML)

Text = Text Text = Text Text = Text Text = Text Text = Text

Or, instead of using absolute sizes, you can adjust font sizes relative to the ones that the user has chosen. So for instance, if a user with visual difficulties has already set his or her font sizes to be large, you make them larger and will not accidentally set them smaller than the user can read. <font size = +1> Text = <font size = +1> Text <font size = +2> Text = <font size = +2> Text <font size = +3> Text = <font size = +3> Text <font size = +4> Text = <font size = +4> Text <font size = +5> Text = <font size = +5> Text

You can also make a font smaller: <font size = -2> Text = <font size = -2> Text

Font Color (using HTML)

<font color="Red"> Text  = <font color="Red"> Text <font color="Green"> Text = <font color="Green"> Text <font color="Purple"> Text = <font color="Purple"> Text

<font color=#0000FF> Text = <font color=#0000FF> Text

even <font face=Comic Sans MS size=5> <font color=#FF0000>R</B> <font color=#FF8800>A</B> <font color=#FFFF00>I</B> <font color=#88FF00>N</B> <font color=#00FF00>B</B> <font color=#00FF88>O</B> <font color=#00FFFF>W</B> <font color=#0088FF>C</B> <font color=#0000FF>O</B> <font color=#8800FF>L</B> <font color=#FF00FF>O</B> <font color=#FF0088>R</B> <font color=#FF0000>S</B> are possible

(Font colors may look different on different screens, but the basic colors such as red, green, blue, black and white are fairly consistent.)

Font color, face, size

<font color=#FF8890 face=Verdana size=5> <font color=#00FF55 face=Verdana size=5>abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz <font color=#0088CC face=Comic Sans MS size=6> <font color=#0088CC face=Comic Sans MS size=6>abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

(If the viewer does not have the font you select on his or her computer, it may not look the way you expect.) Other HTML Commands

 Text </B> = Bold Text</B> <I> Text </I> = <I>Italic Text</I> <U> Text </U> = <U>Underlined Text</U> <S> Text </S> = <S>Strikeout Text</S> or any combination: <U><B> Text </B></U> = <U><B>Underline/Bold Text</B></U>

more commands will be added as discovered.

(Most basic HTML commands will work, but wiki also has "easier" ways to specify some commands like Bold. Triple single quotes, like word around text will make it bold, like word.)
