The colour and size of individual text elements within a page may be altered by using the Netscape 2.0 extension <FONT>...</FONT> tags. These, like other inline style tags, should be used inside other enclosing HTML structure tags. FONT has 2 attributes: SIZE and COLOR.
SIZE is a signed number ranging from +3 to -3 indicating relatively how much larger/smaller than normal font the desired text is to be. COLOR takes an rgb value similar to that used for the BODY BGCOLOR attribute.
Thus for example: <P> <FONT SIZE=+2 COLOR="#FF0000"> RED! </FONT> </P> will result in the text RED! appearing inline among other text in the paragraph.
Using <FONT attribute> tags inside table-data, a colour-chart could be shown on the page as:
| Colour: | Attribute | Colour: | Attribute |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medium Red | #7F0000 | Light Red | #FF0000 |
| Medium Yellow | #7F7F00 | Light Yellow | #FFFF00 |
| Medium Green | #007F00 | Light Green | #00FF00 |
| Medium Cyan | #007F7F | Light Cyan | #00FFFF |
| Medium Blue | #00007F | Light Blue | #0000FF |
| Medium Magenta | #7F007F | Light Magenta | #FF00FF |
