This is a Heading, style #1 (H1)

Here's #2

Here's #3

Here's #4

Here's #5
Here's #6
You can put anything here, with as many carriage returns as you want, and it won't show up until you put an end-of-paragraph mark (P)

Like that one.

Link to document.html (A HREF="document.html"), then (/A) (of course, it doesn't exist, so don't try it ;-)

Here's a URL link to A beginner's Guide to URLs The general format is:

A HREF="scheme://host.domain[:porrt]/path/filename [#Anchorname]"

where 'scheme' is file, http, gopher, WAIS, news, or telnet.

Also you can make an anchor [(A NAME='random')text(/a)] and then make a link to it. (This is what the '#Anchorname' part of the last line meant)

You can also make

Unnumbered lists
Have dots instead of numbers in front of them.
Numbered lists
Are self-explanatory
Definition lists
Look like this one--they have a title (DT) with a definition (DD) defined afterwards
preformatted    text (PRE)
        looks exactly
        as
        it was typed
(although you still can't use <, >, or & normally)

For quoting things,

Use this style

'Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen,... uh, he's already got one, you see.'

The address tag (ADDRESS) is usually used at the end of a document to specify the author of a document, i.e.

Sample document / Owlnet / lpsmith@rice.edu

To display the words differently, use 'logical styles'--you can use:

To directly control the character style, use 'physical styles' instead: Use an ampersand to generate escape sequences. Use '&' + : followed by a ';' (i.e. &lt;) 'BR' forces a line break
with no space between (like 'P'

usually does)

'HR' makes a horizontal line the width of the browser window:


To display an image, the format is:

(Picture Here) <IMG [ALIGN= top/middle] SRC="imagename.ext" [ALT = "text"]>

'align' will align the image so that the accompanying text is either at the top or middle of the picture, instead of at the bottom (the default)

'ext' must be '.gif' if it's a GIF file, or '.xbm' if it's an X Bitmapped image.

'alt' is used for text to appear instead of a picture, if the browser cannot support pictures
