Did you know that when you format your text in WordPress you may be adding or changing the HTML in your page?

For example when writing this paragraph the HTML opening tag <p> is used at the beginning, and the closing tag </p> is used at the end. Another connection to HTML is the question posted at the top of this post. If you look closely you will see that the words are larger and more bold in comparison to this text. This is due to this <h1> and </h1> tag being used. Along with the <h1> heading there is also <h2> through <h6>, which also serve as heading tags and can be found on WordPress in the dropdown menu. Another WordPress function that also appears in HTML is the option to insert a link. In HTML the link would appear as <a Href=””> (with the URL being placed between the quotation marks. Furthermore a link that opens in another window would appear as, <a Href=”insert URL” target=”_blank”>.  Lastly, there are ordered lists and unordered lists. An ordered list would appear as, <ol><li> while and unorderd list would appear as <ul><li> in HTML. Prior to the correct HTML code the list would appear without formatting and after it would appear vertically with either numbers or bullet points.
