Using HTML Tags in these Pages

HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language.
It is the basic language of a Web Page

Formatting Tags:

When you see bold or italic text or underlined text on a web page it is because the the highlighted word is 'enclosed' in a pair of HTML 'tags'

In the above text the words:

<b>see bold</b>, <i>italic text</i> or<u>underlined</u>

are enclosed by a the bold, italic and underline tags.

Notice that the "stop format" tags contain a forward slash.

It is possible to combine the tags:
e.g. <b><i>Bold & Italic</i></b> but the formatting should be started and stopped symetrically

A line <b>like this is <i>considered to</b> be bad HTML</i> and may not display properly

Underlining is not recomended as it may be confused with a hyperlink.

Hyperlinks:

A Hyperlink has the following form:

<a HREF="HTTP://www.bbc.co.uk/" Target="_blank">B.B.C.</a>

and would look like this: B.B.C the Target="_blank" bit causes the link to open in a new window and is always used on OGG for external links as some sites 'kill' the users 'browser history' and the 'Back' button will not work.

Special characters and 'reserved' words

The curly brackets { } cannot be used at all.

Angle brackets < > can be used only as part of a permitted HTML tag or using the "&codes" (see below)
