HTML - <basefont> Tag
Introduction to <basefont> Tag
The HTML <basefont> tag is used to set a default font size and colour for the entire document or a specific section, which is introduced in the older versions of HTML.
The <basefont> tag is deprecated in HTML 4 and completely removed from HTML 5. Instead of using this tag, we can use the CSS properties to style the document.
Example : Basic Usage
Let's consider the following example, where we are going to use the basefont tag and checking the output
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML basefont Tag</title>
</head>
<body>
<basefont face = "cursive,serif" color = "#ff9900" size = "4"/>
<p>The HTML basefont tag is now deprecated. You should use CSS font
to set font properties instead.</p>
</body>
</html>
