Tags
HTML
tags
are
keywords
surrounded
by
angle
brackets
like
<b>.
- HTML
tags
normally
come
in
pairs
like
<b>
and
</b>
- The
first
tag
in
a
pair
is
the
start
tag,
the
second
tag
is
the
end
tag.
- Start
and
end
tags
are
also
called
opening
tags
and
closing
tags.
HTML
tags
are
used
to
change
the
way
your
normal
text
looks,
such
as
underlined,
bold
or
coloured
text.
A
tag
consists
of
arrows
with
an
abbreviated
name
corresponding
to
the
effect
it
provides,
Example:
<b>
=
bold
<u>
=
underlined
<i>
=
italics
| Example |
| HTML
Code: |
<b>Make
a
bid
now!!</b>
You
won't
regret
it!! |
| How
it
looks: |
Make
a
bid
now!!
You
won't
regret
it!! |
How
to
Show
Images
Within
Your
Description
In
HTML,
images
are
defined
with
the
<img>
tag.
The
<img>
tag
is
empty,
which
means
that
it
contains
attributes
only
and
does
not
need
a
closing
tag.
To
display
an
image
within
your
listing
you
need
to
use
the
"src"
attribute.
Src
stands
for
"source".
The
value
of
the
src
attribute
is
the
URL
of
the
image
you
want
to
display
on
your
listing
description.
The
URL
points
to
the
location
(source)
where
the
image
is
hosted
(such
as
your
own
web
space/site
or
an
image
hosting
website
like
photobucket).
If
you
do
not
wish
to
pay
for
image
hosting
you
can
use
a
free
image
hosting
site,
however,
there
can
be
some
drawbacks,
such
as
the
length
of
time
your
image
will
be
hosted
or
a
restriction
on
the
amount
of
images/space
allocated
to
you.
| Example |
| Tag: |
<img
src="url"> |
| Use: |
<img
src=http://www.yourimagehost.com/img/yourpicture.jpg"> |
