html_styles_background-color change (HTML only, no CSS)

Question

How can i get a background color to the text "Test" below? I have tried the following:

<table style="background-color:powderblue;" width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td><hr /></td>
    <strong style="font-size: 35px;">Test</strong><br />
    <td><hr /></td>
  </tr>
</table>

but the results is:

Does exist any solution with HTML only? CSS doesn not work with the enviroment i use.

Answer 1

If this is actually supposed to be a table, this works:

 <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <hr /> </td> <strong style="font-size: 35px; background-color: powderblue;">Test</strong> <br /> <td> <hr /> </td> </tr> </table>

But I am baffled why you have a <strong> tag with a font-size of 35px . You may as well use a <h1> :

 <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <hr /> </td> <h1 style="background-color: powderblue;">Test</h1> <br /> <td> <hr /> </td> </tr> </table>

Replying to your comment, the <h1> can be given a lightgray background like this:

 <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <hr /> </td> <div style="background-color: lightgray"> <strong style="font-size: 35px; background-color: powderblue;">Test</strong> <br /> </div> <td> <hr /> </td> </tr> </table>

But usually, all children in a <table> , including the <strong> element, must be wrapped in a <td> element (except for table headings, they should be wrapped in <th> ).
