body text
Paragraphs, HTML Style
Paragraph <P> Normal paragraphs (no CSS style) look like this -
14px. The paragraph format must be applied for for this normal style of
text. The bulk of your page's text should be in this format. Paragraphs
always have a double space in between them. You can also link
text, or apply bold, italic or both.
No format - Text without <H> or <P> formatting may appear smaller
than normal paragraph text - 12px. Without another format applied, text
takes up the CSS properties of the table that creates the layout for the
page. You can also
link text, or apply
bold,
italic or
both.
