Task 1:
Forget everything, forget you are in the school, forget why you are here, forget you are here, forget HTML, forget everything, just FOCUS ON THE PROBLEM!
Think about a way to send a message to some one, using only notepad, but you have to specify the colour of the background of the message, the colour of some of the words, if the word is bold or italic or just normal. Remember, you can only use notepad! Write a message in notepad using the solution you have thought about. Afterwards you will explain your solution to the rest of us.
