<style> tag for HTML 4.0

[vedette]

I heard that for html 4.0, the font tag is discarded and instead the style tag is used in the head section of the html document. How do I use it? What's the code?

<font> tag isn't discarded in any html version
but it is very useful to define fonts in <style> tag or in an included .css file

try webmonkey.com (http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/reference/stylesheet_guide/) or htmlgoodies (http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/css.html)

I don't know, the html tidy thing says it's discarded for html 4.0
Oh well. Hey thanx for the help!

No, it's deprecated. That means it won't be included in future standards..As long as you write 4.0 Transitional you can use it. I's not allowed in 4.0 Strict though.

It's gone in the current standard, XHTML. So are all other formatting elements. Bye-bye.
