  • Red
  • OrangeRed
  • Orange
  • Yellow
  • Lime
  • Cyan
  • Blue
  • Purple
  • Magenta

<font size=SIZE>TEXT</font>


Then, you have to press the Edit source button on the upper right corner of the website. Here you will see the source code of the page. Now, paste the code where you want to change the text size.

Now, choose a value that's between 7 and -7. After, replace the SIZE string with the size you chose and replace the TEXT from the code with your text.

Your text size should now be changed!

Font

To change the text font, you will have to copy the following line of code.

<font face=FONT>TEXT</font>


Then, you have to press the Edit Source button on the upper right corner of the website. Here you will see the source code of the page. Now, paste the code where you want to change the text font.

After that, you have to choose a font, like Helvetica or Arial. After, replace the FONT string with the font you chose and replace the TEXT string with your text. You can use this website to learn how to do more with font styles, like changing the weight, stretch, and more.

And boom! The font face is now changed.


If you want to combine multiple text style codes in one line, just add a ; between them.

<font color=COLOR;font size=SIZE;font face=FONT>TEXT</font>

Hope this helped you!

Text Shadow

Text-shadow is a part of CSS(Cascading Style Sheets) Property, it adds shadows to each letter of some text, This property also accepts a list of comma-separated list of shadows to be applied to the text, heres how to do it

Syntax

<p style="text-shadow: (h-shadow) (v-shadow) (Blur Radius) (Color)">
  • H-shadow = The horizontal text shadow position(or x-offset)
  • V-Shadow = The vertical text shadow position(or y-offset)
  • Blur Radius = The higher the number. the more blur it will be
  • Color = The color of the text shadow the available color formats are HEX, RGB, and HSL

How to do it

the text has two shadows, Which adds a dark gray (#333) shadow a little to the right (0.2em) and down (0.5em) relative to the normal text. The result looks like this:

<p style="text-shadow: 0.2em 0.5em 10px #FFFFFF">This is a Paragraph</p>

This is a Paragraph

Multiple Shadows:

You can also have more than one shadow and you all have to do is put comma next to the color value and do the same format again and put them in different positions by using (X-shadows and V-shadow) formats. if you want more text shadows like this, you have to copy this following line of code and you can change the color value:

                                     <!--add comma to add more text shadows--->         <!-----Text Size----->
                                             |                        |                                 |
                                             \/                      \/                                 \/ 
<p style="text-shadow: 0.2em 0.5em 0.1em #600,-0.3em 0.1em 0.1em #600, 0.4em -0.3em 0.1em #006; font-size:40px">This text has more than one shadow</p>
            

Final Result

This text has more than one shadow

Check out Text Shadow Generator this will help you!

ASCII Art

Some ASCII art may not display correctly

For example:          ∧    ∧         /  ヽ  / ヽ        /    ⌒   `ヽ           ∧∧      /^)  ○ γヽ  ○  /ヽ .       (*゚ー゚) 〜♪      ゙i  | |||   |  |    |  `i         | ⊃⊇、 ・・・・・ |  |. |||   |  |    l   | ・・・・・((( ◎-ヽJ -◎ きこきこ       ゙i | |||   |  |    ゙i  |     γ'l |     ヽノ    ノi  ノ      | | |`ヽ、    _,,-'/ ノ      | ノ |    ̄ ̄ ̄   |  |      ヽ  ノ          ヽ_ノ        ̄|           |


Even adding a <pre> tag won't help sometimes.

         ∧    ∧ 
        /  ヽ  / ヽ 
       /    ⌒   `ヽ           ∧∧ 
     /^)  ○ γヽ  ○  /ヽ .       (*゚ー゚) 〜♪ 
     ゙i  | |||   |  |    |  `i         | ⊃⊇、
