    The color is Red, Green, and Blue values in hexadecimal. So for example, a white font is "#FFFFFF", and a black font is "#000000"

    Go to webmonkey for a good list of the most common tags. Very handy... ;)

    If you want to impress your lecturers make it all HTML 4 compliant and put all the formatting in an external style sheet.

    A load of tutorials

    CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the one for external style sheets.

    If you're expecting to have to write a lot of font tags than CSS could also save you a lot of typing.
