HTML tag (Not Supported in HTML5)

HTML tag is used to define the font style for the text contained within it. It defines the font size, color, and face or the text in an HTML document.

NOTE: Do not use HTML tag as it is deprecated in HTML5, so you can use CSS properties to change the font size, face, color, etc.

Syntax

Following are some specifications about the HTML tag

Display	Inline
Start tag/End tag	Both Start and End tag
Usage	Font Style

Example 1

<!DOCTYPE html>
 <html>
 <head>
 <title>Font Tag</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <h2>Example of font tag</h2>
 <p>This is normal text without any font styling</p>
