How/When you'd use it
Nowadays, CSS is the preferred way to specify the format and appearance of a web page, but most browsers also support font tags like those shown above. If you specify a font name and size in Settings then use these placeholders in the font tags instead of literal font names and sizes, you can change the look of your entire FAQ by changing the font specs in Settings and regenerating HTML.
