What is HTML Markup?
HTML is a set of "behind the scenes" codes that format
a web page to look the way you want others to see it when viewed
online.
The codes are always enclosed by "<" less than and
">" greater than brackets. These bracketed codes are
commonly referred to as tags. HTML tags are not case-sensitive;
meaning, it does not matter whether you type them in upper-case
or lower-case.
Most HTML formatting has an opening tag and a closing tag. The
closing tag is distinguished by a "/" forward slash following
the "<" opening bracket.
Example: <B>This text would appear bold in the browser
window.</B>

Commonly Used Tags
When submitting your calendar entry, you may want to incorporate
some frequently used tags.
<B>Bold the text.</B>
<I>Italicize the text.</I>
<P>This tag creates a paragraph by inserting a blank line
before and after the block of text enclosed in the tags. Word wrap
will break the lines for you. If you want to create your own line
break, insert <BR>
and the text will begin again on the next line.</P>
