I've seen pages on the Internet that use three-dimensional little balls or other special graphics for bullets. How do they do that?
A1:
That trick is a little bit beyond what this hour covers. You'll find out how to do it yourself at the end of Hour 8.
Q2:
How do I "full justify" text so that both the left and the right margins are flush?
A2:
You don't, at least not with HTML/XHTML alone. HTML and XHTML do not support full-justified text by themselves. You can full-justify text using style sheets, which you'll learn about in Part III.
Q3:
How do I find out the exact name for a font I have on my computer?
A3:
On a Windows or Macintosh computer, open the Control Panel and click the Fonts folderthe fonts on your system are listed. Use the exact spelling of font names when specifying them in the font-family style rule; case doesn't matter, however.
Q4:
How do I put Kanji, Arabic, Chinese, and other non-European characters on my pages?
A4:
First of all, everyone you want to be able to read these characters on your pages must have the appropriate language fonts installed. They must also have selected that language character set and font in their web browser. You can use the Character Map program in Windows (or a similar program in other operating systems) to get the numerical codes for each character in any language font; click Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then System Tools to find Character Map. If the character you want has a code of 214, use Ö to place it on a web page.
The best way to include a short message in an Asian language (such as We Speak TamilCall Us!) is to include it as a graphics image. That way everyone will see it, even if they use English as their primary language for web browsing.
