XHTML elements and attributes

TAG DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE VIEW
<a href> The <a> tag defines a hyperlink, which is used to link from one page to another. The most important attribute of the <a> element is the href attribute, which indicates the link's destination. <a href="protemos.com">Visit my website</a>


<a href="mailto:as@protemos.com">as@protemos.com</a>

1 V.png
<b> The tag specifies bold text without any extra importance. <b>This text is bold</b> 2 B.png
<br/> The tag inserts a single line break. <br/>
<div> Defines a division part. It's a block-level element <div style="text-align: center;">This text is in the center.</div> Centre.png
<h1> to <h6> Defines Headings level from 1 to 6 different sizes. <h1 style="color:blue;">This is a heading</h1> 3 H.png
<hr> Represents a thematic break between paragraph-level tags. It is typically drawn horizontal line. <hr/> 1 line.png
<i> The content inside is typically displayed in italic. <i>This text is italic</i> 4 I.png
<li> The tag defines a list item. The <li> tag is used inside ordered lists(<ol>), unordered lists (<ul>) <ol> <li>Quote</li> <li>Project</li> <li>Job</li> </ol> 8Q.png
<ol> The tag defines an ordered list. An ordered list can be numerical or alphabetical. The <li> tag is used to define each list item. <ol> <li>Quote</li> <li>Project</li> <li>Job</li> </ol> 8Q.png
<p> The tag defines a paragraph. <p>This project is due <span style="color: red;">30 days</span>.</p> 1 th.png
<span> The tag is an inline container used to mark up a part of a text, or a part of a document. The tag is much like the <div> element, but <div> is a block-level element and is an inline element. <p>This is a <span style="color:blue;"> paragraph</span>.</p> 5. P.png
<ul> The tag defines an unordered (bulleted) list. Use the <ul> tag together with the <li> tag to create unordered lists. <ul> <li>Quote</li> <li>Project</li> <li>Job</li> </ul> 6. Q.png
<style>
Used to add CSS style, e.g.:
- Underline the text

- Align the text
- Change the size of the text.

<p style="text-decoration: underline;"> Underlined text </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This text is in the center.</p>
<p style="font-size:12px">This text size is 12 px.</p>

Underlined.png

For text to start from a new page - <p style="clear: both; display: block; page-break-after: always;"></p>


That's the example on how your invoice can look like:
