How do I format table headers with a specific design?


I'm working on an assignment where we have to create a website that is formatted similarly to a picture of a resume. The picture is here: link

I have most of the formatting correctly, but there are a couple things I can't figure out. First of all, how do I create a table header style similar to the one in the image? Also, how can I make the name and picture area into a block and add those two borders?

Oh, and how come my icons for my list turned out to be chinese characters, I copied the code for the sideways triangle, but it came out as that. And the codes weren't working for the phone/email either so I ended up using a picture of them instead.

Solution

    • Line break is defined as <br> not </br>
    • <span> doesn't need to be inside <p> because you can write your text in <span> directly & it will show up.
    • You don't need to write <br> between everything, Just type spaces, HTML will ignore them. This is not python!
