Body + Set text size

Is there a way of setting the size of the text viewed on the page in the body tag?:confused:
I have a book on HTML and it says nothing about that.

You can't do it on the body tag itself, but you can set each text to different sizes, weight, etc.

Eg . <font size="2">Your text on page</font>

Or you can use css. Add this in between your head tags

<style>
body {
color : Black;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size : 10px;
}

.pagetitle {
color : Grey;
font-size : 12px;
}
</style>

Fpr you pages, anything that you type in between the body tags will be set to the above settings and for individual ones,

You can set to <font class="pagetitle"> Text here </font>

Or

<div class="pagetitle"> Text here </div>

I just learn mine by copying other site's css styles, then making my own.

DO NOT use the font tags because they are obsolete even if they work. Use CSS instead. You'll have so much more control over the text and the user will have no way to override your settings.

Thank for the help sidez and yeah I plan on learning css hunkorama. I was looking in the book and I missed something. You can also set the size of the text throughout the page by using the tag
