Beyond basic HTML, the single most expand tool for formatting a Web Page is the "tables" tool (tag) with all the variations (attributes). Again it is recommended to start simply and understand the basic tables tags and then begin adding the variations (attributes). Tables can have borders (outlining all the cells) of various sizes or can have no borders, which makes a page appear very much like a word processor document. Bordered or borderless tables allow images objects and text to appear in specific locations on a page. When using tables, colored backgrounds can be added to each cell, various font sizes can be assigned to each cell, and different alignments can be assigned to each cell. One can have a great deal of control over the appearance of a web page using the tables tags.
