Font Tag?

Since the Font tag has been deprecated, I am searching for a replacement for my new forum. Editing my CSS is (I believe) out of the question, and the Div tag doesn't give the result I want (it inserts a line break above and below it, which is not what I want) - what tag can replace the font tag?

I'm struggling to understand what you are asking for help with.

Are you trying to work out a way of changing the type of font used on your forum?

you can replace font tags using css and div's.. if it adds a line break it shouldnt..

here's all the css youd need to know.

Code:

<div class="font">random</div>

Code:

.font {
font-size: --px;
font-family: 'Georgia', Arial, Serif;
line-height: 125%;
color: #000;


A DIV may appear as causing line breaks due to it naturally rendered style of display:block. DIV's have 'block' display property unless set other wise, its known as a block element.

A SPAN is an inline element, which you may prefer.

Code:

<span style="font:bla bla bla">bla bla text</span>

You don't even need to use a class (you could, but you houldnt unless it's for multiple elements).

Simply use the SPAN tag like LG said :

Code:

<span style="font-color: #FFFFFF;">Text</span>

Yes, thank you LGForum!

@Vanilla, I was a bit unclear. I meant that, since HTML5 has deprecated the tag, what can I use to replace it? As in, instead of using this:

Code:


<font color="red">Hi</font>


What could I use?
