Block Formatting Elements

Block formatting elements are used for the formatting of whole blocks of text within a HTML document, rather than single characters. They should all (if present) be within the body of the document.

The essential block formatting elements are :

  • <ADDRESS> ... </ADDRESS>
  • <BLOCKQUOTE> ... </BLOCKQUOTE>
  • <BR>
  • <CENTER> ... </CENTER>
  • <FONTSIZE>
  • <H1> ... </H1>
  • <HR>
  • <LISTING> ... </LISTING>
  • <P> ... </P>
  • <PLAINTEXT>
  • <PRE> ... </PRE>
  • <XMP> ...</XMP>
