Change Your Portfolio's Appearance with HTML
While you don't need to know HTML to create a great portfolio, using a few basic tags can give your portfolio more visual interest and make it easier to read.
Learn about HTML tags
To apply HTML formatting to your text in a content section, just enclose some text within the HTML tags. Be sure to display the content of that section as HTML instead of plain text.
Most HTML code has an opening tag, which begins applying the formatting, and a closing tag. Here's an example:
<p>Text of a paragraph here.</p>
