Re: Old HTML?

The good old <font> tag is deprecated which means something else is
preferred. However, browsers dare not ignore it - far too deeply
embedded in too many files. The use of css code is recommended but
that always takes up more space for no technical advantage.

Wrong on both counts - CSS streamlines and shrinks markup, and separating
presentation from content is certainly a technical advantage.

Compared to the H's, the font tag does not add vertical spaces.

Neither "tag" (sic) adds vertical space. HTML is not a layout language -
that's why <font> was deprecated to begin with.

Respectfully, you may want to learn HTML before trying to teach it.
