CSS TextFormat
Text Format
This text is styled with some of the text formatting properties. The heading uses the text-align, text -transform, and color properties. The paragraph is indented, aligned, and the space between characters is specified. The underline is removed from the "Try it" link.
Text Color
The color property is used to set the color of the text.
Colors are most often specified via CSS:
Hexadecimal value - such as "#FF0000"
An RGB value - "RGB(255,0,0)"
The name of the color - such as "red"
See CSS Color Values View full color values.
The background color of a web page refers to the selection within the body:
Instance
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
<style>
body {color:red;}
h1 {color:#00ff00;}
p.ex {color:rgb(0,0,255);}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is heading 1</h1>
<p>This is an ordinary paragraph. Notice that this text is red. The default text-color for a page is defined in the body selector.</p>
<p class="ex">This is a paragraph with class="ex". This text is blue.</p>
</body>

For W3C standard CSS: If you define the color attribute, you must also define the background color attribute.
Alignment of text
The text arrangement property is used to set the horizontal alignment of text.
Text can be centered or aligned to the left or right, justified on both ends.
When text-align is set to "justify", each line is expanded to have equal width, and the left and right margins are Alignment (such as magazines and newspapers).
Instance
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
<style>
h1 {text-align:center;}
p.date {text-align:right;}
p.main {text-align:justify;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>CSS text-align 实例</h1>
<p class="date">2015 年 3 月 14 号</p>
<p class="main">“当我年轻的时候，我梦想改变这个世界；当我成熟以后，我发现我不能够改变这个世界，我将目光缩短了些，决定只改变我的国家；当我进入暮年以后，我发现我不能够改变我们的国家，我的最后愿望仅仅是改变一下我的家庭，但是，这也不可能。当我现在躺在床上，行将就木时，我突然意识到：如果一开始我仅仅去改变我自己，然后，我可能改变我的家庭；在家人的帮助和鼓励下，我可能为国家做一些事情；然后，谁知道呢?我甚至可能改变这个世界。”</p>
<p><b>注意：</b> 重置浏览器窗口大小查看 "justify" 是如何工作的。</p>
