The Tag | change your text’s size, typeface and colour Path // → → THE TAG The font tag was brought in early in HTML’s life to allow designers to change the size, typeface and colour of their text. It proceeded to do more harm than good — for all sorts of reasons — but mainly because it is a hugely inefficient way to format text. This page was last updated on 2012-08-21 Future Watch: Ever since HTML 4.01 came out in 1998, the tag has been deprecated. Somewhat tragically, there has been little decline in tag usage since then, so many years ago. CSS on the other hand, gives you far more control over how your text looks, and adds almost nothing to your download times. Further reading: The rest of this page is just a description of how the tag used to work. Font Size You have two options when setting your text’s size: sizing it absolutely or relatively. text Most browsers have their default font size set as 3. Relative sizing means the text will resize relatively to the user’s default size. Font Face

5 Steps to Drastically Improve Your CSS Knowledge in 24 Hours You’ve been coding for a while now and know your way around a CSS file. You’re certainly no master, but with enough fiddling you can get where you want to go. You’re wondering though if you’ll ever get past that point where CSS is such a struggle. Will you ever be able to bust out a complex layout without ultimately resorting to trial and error to see what works and what doesn’t? The good news is that you can indeed get past that frustrating point where you know enough CSS to code a website, but lack the solid foundation that allows you to code without the annoyance of not exactly understanding how you’re going to get where you’re going, and this point is a lot closer than you think.

Sass vs. Stylus: Who Wins the Minimal Syntax Battle? Today we’re going to pit two CSS preprocessors head to head. You’ve no doubt seen lots of discussion about how SCSS compares to LESS, but where does Stylus, the new kid on the block, factor in? Can it possibly match the power and versatility of SASS? We’ll jump head first into both syntaxes and compare them side by side to see which is more logical and versatile. Sass, Not SCSS One little detail needs to be addressed before we dive into this any further. However, for the sake of comparison, Sass is actually much closer to Stylus than its sibling SCSS. Alas, this is not an article on the merits of Sass vs. Basic Syntax Let’s start with a direct comparison of both syntaxes at their most basic level. As you can see, they’re almost identical. Flexibility One thing that I’ve always appreciated about LESS and SCSS is that I can still write plain old vanilla CSS within my stylesheet. As far as I can tell, Sass doesn’t have this ability but Stylus apparently does (demonstrated here). Nesting
