The tags listed below are all the basic HTML codes (tags) that can be used in GMail to enhance messages. HTML can be very complex and there are hundreds of other tags used to design web pages. However, you will not need these since GMail is already setup and ready for text input.
To use the tags, simply insert tags as shown, complete with the brackets CAUTION: Always use the 'Test Message' key to test your messages. If you make any mistakes then just click 'Back" and make corrections. Note: If you click 'Send Message' it will create a real message that can only be deleted by the GMail Account administrator.
