Body Material

Every Web page is of the form:

<HTML> <HEAD>heading material</HEAD> <BODY>body material</BODY> </HTML>

The body material contains text and formatting tags. If there are no formatting tags, the text is displayed with word wrap, but without other line breaks, paragraphs, headings, or variation in fonts. Carriage returns in the text are treated like spaces.

The minimum set of formatting tags are the following:

<BR>
To force a new line
<P>
Between paragraphs
<HR>
Horizontal rule
These three tags are used singly, not in pairs.
Example: in source form or as rendered by the browser.
Start of talk . . Back . . Forward . .
