HTML-Lesson 3
Templates 2
Headings
Heading tags run from 'h1', the largest, to 'h6', the smallest. That is, if you do not modify these headings.
Spaces and carriage returns
A few facts that you should know about browsers. If a web page has more than one consecutive space, a browser will ignore all but the first. This means that 'character art' like this has to be treated in a special way.

Wot' no spaces!@*!
So much for art. Carriage returns and line feeds are, likewise, ignored. Instead, html tags are used. To be specific, paragraphs are enclosed by paragraph tags and line-break tags.
Paragraph and line-break tags
Paragraphs are enclosed in paragraph tags, thus:
<p>
This is a whole paragraph.
</p>
The line-break tag, <br /> is used to finish a short line of text, when it is not the end of a paragraph or the end of an item in a list. NOTE that the line-break tag is self-closing.
The current template
Your template file should now look something like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>A page title goes here</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A rather large heading goes here</h1>
<p>
A paragraph of 'content' goes here.
</p>
</body>
</html>
You're well on your way to be a web master.
