For scrolling text, use the <MARQUEE> tag. Any word or sentence written between the opening and ending tags will be affected.
When used with multiple tags, the opening marquee tag should be placed directly in front of your text and the ending marquee tag directly after it. Like this:
| <I><B><MARQUEE>TEXT</MARQUEE></B></I> |
