Compose Treehouse Text
To add text type in the space below.
Begin paragraphs with <p> and end them with </p>
How and Why: Chris worked on defining terms such as mandibles right away to help make the page more accessible to a wide range of visitors. Another technique that makes Chris's treehouse work for beginners, intermediate and advanced learners is his use of graphics and diagrams to illustrates each of the main ideas he presents.
Basic HTML: Chris uses <p> and </p> around his paragraphs and <strong> and </strong> around text he would like to make bold and <em> and </em> around text that he would like to italicize. He mainly used these tags to make titles within his page. Chris left some blank spaces so that he can see what he is doing, but he knows these will not show up in his page. Chris used the special ToL code for adding images, which requires that you type in TOLIMG and the image's ID number. See the following section on adding images for more information.
Advnaced HTML: Chris used the tag <p class="center">TOLIMG6461</p> around his title image so that he could center the image. He also used something called "anchors" within his page so that he could jump people from one part of his page to another. You can see that in the first paragraph Chris has written "This page describes and <a href=#illustrates">illustrates</a> just a small sampling of diversity. If someone clicks on the word "illustrates" in Chris's treehouse they will get bumbed to the part of Chris's page that shows the illustrations. The code knows to take the visitor there because of the HTML shown in the sentence above. The section of the page that the visitors is bumped to will have the following HTML anchor tag:
<a name=illustrates></a>
This is a useful way to help people navigate around your treehouse. You can read more about how to use these tags in the All the HTML You Need page.
