Examples

Please right-click over this page and choose "View source" to see how these CLASSES have been defined in the STYLE tag. Please note: to get the fonts displayed properly in Netscape v4, you must define the point size first; otherwise, it will just ignore your style-sheet. Also, you need to test the style-sheet in both Netscape and Internet Explorer - what works doesn't always work in another, despite the fact that the code is correct. The example below is the green over-lined text - to get this to be 14pt in Netscape v4.75 the size has to be declared first. However, if the size is declared first, the text is not over-lined in IE v5.5. Get round this by putting in JavaScript that dynamically writes another STYLE tag depending on what browser is being used.

I am dark red, arial 10pt, underlined and indented 10%.
I am dark green, arial 14pt, overlined, bold, and all LOWERCASE.
I am normal colour, italic and in small capitals.
I am normal text with letter spacing at 0.1em aligned to the center.
I am normal text with letter spacing at 0.5em aligned to the right.

Why can't I see all the formatting? Most likely your browser does not support the properties and values.
