Listed below, you will find a table of the most common HTML commands and various attributes. This compilation is by no means complete, however the most commonly used tags in basic page design are included. This is not intended as a means to learn HTML, but rather as an ongoing reference for the working designer. Even the most seasoned professionals are keeping some sort of HTML reference handy, and often find themselves referring to them. We have designed this page to serve as such a reference. You may use the letter links below to link directly to an area of the page where you expect to find the command for which you need information. Use the Index link to return to the alphabet links.
