Objectives

 * To give examples of the style attribute to format text

Text formatting style settings
Reference: (w3c schools, 2009)
 * Aligning text {left|right|center|justify}
 * style="text-align: center"
 * Background colour
 * style="background-color: #DDFFEE"
 * Colour
 * style="color:#0000FF"
 * Emphasising text
 * style= "font-weight:bold"
 * Fonts/Font family
 * style="font-family: menu,Arial"
 * Setting margins
 * style="margin-right:10px"
 * style="margin-left:auto"

Changing the size of text

 * Use the relative em setting
 * Example: This text is 1.5em
 * 1em keeps the font the same size, 2em doubles, .5 halves. BAER Urban Alternative Music Magazine (2003) describes text size units.
 * Avoid setting text sizes to fixed pixel sizes as they will not resize for a user (accessibility issue)

Examples
If we want to change the colour (color?) of text between two tags we can use the color style for example: 

Which would display as This heading 3 is in red and centered This heading 4 is in green and in An Arial font This paragraph is in blue with a 20 pixel left margin
