This document is rather old and outdated by HTML5, however, in most cases HTML5 is a superset of HTML4 and so,
although incomplete from HTML5 stand point most of these more basic elements and atributes still apply.
Few global style attributes are used so as to show how the default renders.
optional (required by default)
Forbidden end tag,
Empty (i.e. there is only a start tag, no contents, no endtag)
represents a generic document or application section, a thematic grouping of content, typically with a header, possibly with a footer. Examples of sections would be chapters, the various tabbed pages in a tabbed dialog box, or the numbered sections of a thesis.
A Web site's home page could be split into sections for an introduction, news items, contact information
URI for relative links. in HEAD section ex: base href=http://www.w3.org/TR
once a base is included in the document,
there is no way to reference a fragment in the document ie: <base href=http://originalDocument> <a href=#myfootnote>local</a> won't work
inhibit line break. Causes table cells width to expand rather than wrap text into mutiple lines
Deprecated using style=white-space:nowrap; as suggested cause tables to splash over the end of the window!
Use non‑break‑hyphen ‑ N.B. copy/paste into a text document results in x'E2 80 91'
instead of - ( x'2D' )
Permit a line break at this location WITHIN a <NOBR>. Useful in anticipating window size/resize which would other-wise cause text to become unviewable or wrap
at an undesirable place. Shrink this window to see it in action.
italic intended to stand out
This author frerquently styles the italic element with a pale color and not slanted to use with [, |, ]
when used to indicate optional or a choice. Example Yes|no Yes<i style=color:silver>|</i>no
<figure> <img src=home.gif>
<figCaption>A figure caption can include <br>
and other html code <figCaption><figure>
to float and include caption:
(see style.css)
CAPTION
<table class=img border=3 align=center width=30%><tr><td>
<img src=home.gif width=80 height=10 alt="wide home"
title="W I D E H O M E"> <caption>CAPTION<caption>
</table>
floating multiple IMGs
use same color for border as background makes border appear as margin border=20
style=border-color:lightCyan;
border-style:solid
Short inline <q class=french-quote>quotation within a <q>quote</q>!</q> : Short inline quotation within a quote! Short inline <q class=dumb-quote>quotation within a <q>quote</q>!</q> : Short inline quotation within a quote! Short inline <q class=az-quote>quotation within a <q>quote</q>!</q> : Short inline quotation within a quote! zero 0,l
Copy/Paste may not produce the expected result.
Unordered list
before
( style=margin-top:1em;margin-left:15;padding:10 default? )
margin-left less than 15 truncates symbol
Seems margins top and bottom are only at hightest level type=circle | disc | square | none
<ul> beginning of list (indented but no symbol)
(note style type changes automaticlly
conveys relationship (to search engins)
rel=fwd | index | next | prev ... rev=reverse,
only allowed in <head>
not used by ie (?)
( Did you want ServerSideIncludes )
useful for defining (a few) style attributes on a column.
Can't recall where I saw this but only a few attributes are usable,
excluding text-align, color
Must immediately follow <table> or <colgroup> STYLE or Attributes on <TR> override col style
(don't use colspan=n, use colgroup)
<table border=1>
<col style=background-color:aqua>
<col style=background-color:red>
<colgroup style=color:green><col><col>
<tr><td> no color <td> specified<td>on <td>TD
<tr><td> 0000 <td> tags <td>zzzz <td>qqqq
<tr style=background-color:pink>
<td> TR has bgcolor <td> 1234 <td>zzzz <td>qqqq
<tr><td> on TD <td> tags <td>zzzz <td>qqqq
