Close-up of some Properties

In our example, we only modified five properties:

• font-size defines the size of the font used, in points. A size of 12pt is normal, 26 is the average and 72 is very big.
  
  
• font-family defines the name of the font you want to apply. You can indicate it using several names and the browser will use the first one it finds on the visitor's computer.
  
  
• color enables you to change the colour of a text. Hexadecimal values must be prefixed with the hash symbol (#).
  
  
• font-weight indicates the weight of the font. This can be normal or bold.
  
  
• text-align enables you to align your text. The values can be left, right, center, or justify to obtain a text that is left-, right-, centre-aligned or justified.
  
  

These properties are those you will probably use most. In future workshops, you will learn other properties, which are more subtle but also more impressive ...
