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.
floating multiple IMGs
use same color for border as background makes border appear as margin border=20
style=border-color:lightCyan;
border-style:solid
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
<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>
