Historically web developers will have used the <<FONT>> tag to set the attributes of blocks of text. Latterly, they will be using style sheets to control this.
The <<BASEFONT>> tag provides a way to set the font presentation style from the position of this tag to the end of the document unless overridden by further <<BASEFONT>> tags or <<FONT>> settings.
