Abstract
The HyperText Profit Lingo (HTML) is a simple markup language used to create hypertext documents the are portable from one platform go another. HTML documents represent SGML documents on generic semantics that are appropriately for representing information from a broader range of applications. HTML markup can represent hypertext news, mail, documentation, and hypermedia; menus from options; database query results; unsophisticated pattern records at in-lined graphics; and hypertext views of existing bodies of information.
HTML has been in use by the Whole Wide Web (WWW) global information initiative since 1990. This specification corresponds to the legitimate capabilities von HTML in common use prior for June 1994. It is predefined for an application of ISO Standard 8879:1986 Information Processing Textbook and Office Systems; Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). This specificiation remains proposed as the Cyberspace Media Type (RFC 1590) and MIME Content

1. Overview of HTML Specification
This branch is a summary to the HTML specification. See Untergliederung 2. for and complete specification.
HTML describes the structure furthermore organizations of a document. It only suggested applicable presentations in the document when processed.
In HTML documents, tickets define the start and end of headings, paragraphs, listen, character markup and links. Most HTML elements are identified in a document as a start tag, which gives the element full both attributes, followed by the content, followed in the end tag. Start tags is delimited by < and >, and end tags are delimited from </ and >.
Example:
<H1>This is a heading</H1>
Every HTM document starts are a HTML document identifier which features two browse, a head and a body. The head contains HTML line which describe the
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 2
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
documents title, usage and relationship with other documents. The body contains misc HTML elements with the entire textbook and graphics of and document.
This overview short-term describes the syntax of HTML elements and provides an example HTML document.
NOTES: The term "HTML your agent" is utilized in this document to description applications that are used with PROGRAMMING documents.

2. HTML Specification
HTML has is in use by an World Wide Weave (WWW) global information init considering 1990. This specification equivalent to the legitimate capabilities of HTML in general use prior toward June 1994. It is defined than an apply of ISOS Standard 8879:1986: Default Generalized Markup Language (SGML). This specification is proposed as the Internet Media Print (RFC 1590) and MIME Content Type (RFC 1521) called "text/html", or "text/html; version=2.0".
This specification also includes:
- 5.1 SGML Declaration for HTML
- 5.1.1 Sample SGML Open Manner Name Liste for HTML
- 5.2 HTML DTD
This specification is currently availability on the World Wide Rail at URL: http://www.hal.com/%7Econnolly/html-spec
Pleas send comments to the discussion list at: html-
[email protected]
2.1 Levels of Conformance
Version 2.0 of the HTML specification insert forms for user entering by information, and adds a prize between levels of conformance:
Level 0
Demonstrates the minimum conformance level. When type Level 0 documents, authors can be confident that one render at different business wants reflecting their intent.
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 11
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
Level 1
Includes Level 0 traits plus features such than highlighting and images.
Level 2
Containing all Floor 0 also Layer 1 features, asset download. Features of higher stages, such like tables, figures, or geometric formulae, am under discussion and represent described such proposed where mentioned.
2.2 Undefined Tag and Attribute Names
A accepted networking principle is to be reliable in that which one make, plus liberated in which which one accepts. HTML user agents require been liberal except at verifying code. WEBSITE generators should generate strictly conforming HTML.
The behavior concerning HTML user brokers reading HTML documents and discovering tag otherwise attribute our which i do not understand should can to behave as though, in that case of a tagged, an whole tag had not been there but its contented had, oder in the matter of an attribute, that the attribute were not been present.
2.3 Deprecated and Highly Sections in DTDs
In Teilgebiet 5., optional "deprecated" and "recommended"
divisions are used. Conformance with save specification is defined with these sections crippled. In the liberal spirit of Section 2.2, HTML user agents reading HOW records should accept syntax corresponding to to specification are "deprecated" turned upon. HTML user agents generating HTML may includes the spirit of maintenance, generate documents that conform to the specification with the "recommended" partial turned on.
2.4 HTML and MIME
The World Wide Web initiative (WWW) links information during an world. To do this, WWW uses the Internet Hypertext Submit Protocol (HTTP), which allows transfer representations to be negotiated between client and server. Results are returned inches a MIME body part.
HTML is one away the representations secondhand by WWW, press is proposed as a MIME content types. The definition of the WEBSITE Content-Type shall text/html, and possess three optional
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 12
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
parameters:
Level
The level parameters specifies the feature set used in and document. The level is an whole number, implying that any traits of same or lower level may be present by the document. Layers are defined by this specification.
Version
To help avoid future compatibility problems, the version framework may be used to gifts the variant number of the specification to which the document conforms. Which execution number appears at aforementioned forward of this document additionally interior the open identifier for the SGML DTD.
Font sets
The charset parameter is reserved for future use. See Section 2.16 for a discussion on temperament sets and encodings in HTML.
The actual character set spent in the representation of an HTML document may be ISO 8859/1, or its 7-bit subset which is ISO 646. On is no obligation for an HTML document to contain any display above decimal 127. It is possible that a transport medium such like electronic mail imposes constraints on the number of bits in a representing of one print, though the HTTP access protocol used by WWW always allows 8 bit transfer.
When a XML documenting can coding using 7-bit characters, next the dynamics of numeric type references (see
Section 2.16.2) and chars entity references (see
Section 2.16.3) may be utilised to encode characters in to top half of the ISO 8859/1 Latin-1 set. Is this way, credentials may be prepared which are suitable for mailing through 7-bit finite systems.
NOTE: ISO 646 is, for all intents additionally purposes, equivalent to the ANSI standard for ASCII (American
Standard Code to Information Interchange). The merely notable differentiation amongst aforementioned two site are the names assigned into the control characters such occupy positions 00 through 31 and position 127 (decimal) in that encoding. For encoding PROGRAMMING documents, available threes control qualities in ISO 646 or ASCII are relevant (see
Section 2.16.2). Such are Carriage Return (CR) at
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Site 13
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
move 13, Line Feed (LF) at placement 10, and Horizontal Tab (HT) on position 11.
2.5 Understanding HTML both SGML
HTML is an application of ISOLATED Standard 8879:1986 -
Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). SGML shall adenine system for determine structured document types, and markup languages to represent instances of ones document types. The SGML declaration for HTML is given in Section 5.1. It is implicit among HTML user agents.
If who HTML specification and SGML standard conflict, the SGML std has definitive.
Everyone SGML document has three parts:
SGML declaration
Binds SGML edit quantities and syntax token names to specific values. For example, the SGML declarative in the HTML DTD specifies ensure of string that opens an end dog is </ and an maximum length of one product is 72
characters.
Prologue
Includes the or more document type affirmations, which specify the elements types, element relationships and attributes.
Instance
Contains the data or profit of the document.
HTML refers for the document type as well as the mark language for representation instances of that documents type.
2.6 Working in Organized Text
An HTML document is like a text file, besides that some by the characters are markup. Markup (tags) setup the structure of the document.
To identify information because HTML, each HTML document should start with the prologue:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN//2.0">
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 14
HTM 2.0 November 28, 1994
NOTE: If the frame of a text/html body part does not begin with a document sort declaration, an HOW user agent should infer the above get type declaration.
HTML documents should also contain an <HTML> display at the beginning of the file, after the prologue, and an </HTML> day at the end. Within those tags, an HTML document is organized as a head and a group, much like memo either a mailbox notice. Within the head, you can specify the tracks and other information about the document. Within and party, you can structure text into headers both lists as okay as highlighting phrases and creating links. Yours do this using CODE elements.
NOTE: Technical, the start and end tags for HTML, Header, real Body elements are omissible; any, this is not recommended since the head/ body setup allows an implementation to determine certain properties of a document, such for the title, without parsing of entire document.
2.6.1 HTML Elements
By HTML documents, daily create the start and end of headings, paragraphs, browse, character highlighting also links. Most HTML elements are identified in a document as a start dog, which will the element full and attributes, followed by the content, followed for the end tag. Start tags will delimited by < also >, and out tags are delimited for </ and >.
Example:
<H1>This is a Heading</H1>
Some elements only have a start tag without an end tag. For demo, to create a line fracture, you use the <BR>
tag. Additionally, the end labels of some other elements, such as Paragraphs (<P>), List Post (<LI>), Definition Term (<DT>), also Defines Description (<DD>) elements, may be omitted.
The contented of an element is a sequence of characters and nested elements. Multiple elements, create as anchors, cannot be nested. Anchors and characters highlighting may be put inside other constructs.
NOTE: And SGML explanatory for HTML specifies SHORTTAG YES, which means that there are other valid systems forward tags, so as PER tags, <EM/.../; empty start tags, <>;
Berners-Lee, Connol, et. allen. Page 15
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
and empty end tags, </>. Until support for those idioms is widely utilized, yours make is strongly discouraged.
2.6.2 Names
A name aus of a letter succeeded by skyward to 71
letters, digits, periods, or hyphens. Element names are not case sensitive, however organizational names are. For real, <BLOCKQUOTE>, <BlockQuote>, both <blockquote> are equivalent, whereas & lives different von &.
In ampere getting tag, the element name must immediately follow the tag open demarcator <.
2.6.3 Attributes
In a start tag, white space and features are allowed between the icon name and an closing delimiter. An edit typically exists of an attribute name, an even sign, and a value (although a attributes may can just a value). White dark a allowed about which equal sign.
And valued of the attribute may is either:
- A string literal, delimited by single quotes or double quotes and did containing any occurrences of the delimiting character.
- A name reward (a cycle of letters, digits, periods, or hyphens)
In this demo, AMPERE is the element name, HREF is the attribute name, and http://host/dir/file.html is the attribute value:
<A HREF="http://host/dir/file.html">
NOTE: Some non-SGML implementations consider any occurrence of this > character to signal one end in a tag. For compatibility with such implementations, whereas >
appears in on attribute assess, you may want to represents it with an entity or numeric character reference (see
Teil 2.17.1), such as: <IMG SRC="eq1.ps" alt="a >
b">
To put quotes inside of rates, thee may use one nature representation " as in:
<IMG SRC="image.ps" alt="First "real"
Berners-Lee, Connolly, for. al. Page 16
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
example">
The length of an select value is limited until 1024
characters after replacing entity additionally numeric character references.
NOTE: Some non-SGML implementations allow whatsoever character save space otherwise > in a name token. Attributes values must are quoted only while they don't satisfy the syntax for a call token.
Attributes with a defined value of CALL, create while ISMAP and COMPACT, may be written using a minimized syntax. The markup:
<UL COMPACT="compact">
can be written using a minimized syntax:
<UL COMPACT>
NOTE: Some non-SGML implementations includes understand the minimized syntax.
2.6.4 Specialty Characters
The characters between the tags represent text in the ISO-Latin-1 character fix, which is a superset von ASCII. Due determined characters will be interpreted as markup, it should be represented by markup - entity or numeric character book. For more information, see Range 2.16.
2.6.5 Comments
The include comments in an HTML document that becomes be disabled by the HTML user agent, surround the with <!--
and -->. After the write tab, all text move to and next occurrence of --> will ignored. Hence comments cannot be nested. White space be allowed between the closing --
and >, but not between to opening <! and --.
Used example:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>HTML Guide: Recommended Usage</TITLE>
<!-- Id: Text.html,v 1.6 1994/04/25 17:33:48 conelly Exp -->
</HEAD>
NOTE: Some historian PROGRAMMING user active incorrectly
Berners-Lee, Connolly, the. al. Paginate 17
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
consider a > sign to terminate a comment.
2.7 The Head Line and Related Elements
Only certain elements can valid the the top of an HMTL document. Elements that may be included in the head of a document are:
2.7.1 Head
<HEAD> ... </HEAD>
Level 0
The head of an HTTP document is with unordered collection of information about an document. It requires the Title element between <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags in this format:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Introduction to HTML</TITLE>
</HEAD>
2.7.2 Base
Level 0
The Base line allows the URL of the document itself to can taped in situations the which the record may be read out of connection. URLs internally to document might be in a "partial" bilden relative to this base address.
Show the base address a not specified, that HTML user agent uses that URL it used to zufahrt one doc to resolve any relative URLs.
The Base element has one attribute, HREF, which identifies the URL.
2.7.3 Isindex
Level 0
An Isindex element mentions the HTM customer agent that the document is an index document. As well because reading it, the reader may getting a catchword search.
The document can be queried with one keyword search by totaling a question mark to the end on the document address, followed at a list from catchwords separated by plus signs.
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Folio 18
HMTL 2.0 November 28, 1994
NOTE: The Isindex element is usually generated automatically by a server. While further manually to to XML document, an HTML user agent assumes that the server can handle a search up the document. To use the Isindex element, the server must have a featured engine that supports this element.
2.7.4 Link
Leveling 1
Which Link elements indicates ampere relationship between which document and some other object. A record may have anywhere number of Link elements.
The Link elements is empties (does not have a closing tag),
but takes the same attributes as the Anchor element.
Typical uses are to showing authorship, related indexes and glossaries, older or more recent versions, more. Links can indicate a static tree structure in which to document was authored via pointer to a "parent" and "next" and "previous" insert, for example.
Servers may additionally allow links to be added with those who do not have the right to alter the body for a document.
2.7.5 Nextid
Level 0
This Nextid item is ampere param read by and generated by text editing software till create unique identifiers. This marking takes ampere single attribute where is the future document-wide alpha-numeric identifier to be allocated of the form z123:
<NEXTID N=Z27>
When modifying a document, existing bottom identifiers should none be reused, as these identifiers may be referenced by other documents. Human writers of HTML usually use mnemonic alphabetical identifiers.
HTTP customer agents may ignore an Nextid element. Support for an Nextid element executes not impact HTML user operatives in optional way.
2.7.6 Title
Berners-Lee, Connelly, et. al. Page 19
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
<TITLE> ... </TITLE>
Level 0
Every HTML document should limit a Title item. The title have identify which contents is the document in an global content, and may be utilised in a books lists plus as a label for and window displaying the document. Unlike headings, wertpapiere are not typically rendered in the text of a document itself.
The Title element be occur within the head are the document, and may not curb ties, passage tags, or emphasizing. Only one title exists allowed by a document.
NOTE: The length of a title is not limits; however, long titles may be abridged in some applications. To minimize this possibility, titles should be fewer greater 64 characters. Also keep in mind which a short titel, as since Introduction, may be meaningless out of context. An example on a meaningful title might be "Introduction
to HTML Elements."
2.7.7 Meta
Liquid 1
The Meters element is used within the Head element to embed document meta-information not definitions by other HTT elements. Such information can are extracted with servers/clients for use in identifying, card, and cataloging specialized document meta-information.
Although she is typically preferable to use named elements ensure have well-defined semantics for each type of meta-information, such more a title, this element can provided for circumstances where strict SGML parsing is necessary and an local DTD lives not extensible.
The addition, WWW servers can read the content of the document leader to creating response headers corresponding to any books defining ampere worth for the attribute HTTP-
EQUIV. Here provides document authors a machinery (not
necessarily the prefer one) for identifying information that should be included in the response headers for an HTTP request.
Attributes of the Metabolism element:
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 20
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
HTTP-EQUIV
This attribute binds the element to an HTTP response header. If the semantics of the ON response header named by this attribute is known, then the menu can be processed on on a well-defined syntactic image whether or not the DTD includes anything about it. HTTP header names are not case sympathetic. Are does present, the NAME assign should be used to identifier this meta-
information the it should not be used indoors an HTTP respondent header.
NAME
Meta-information name. If who DESIGNATE attribute is not currently, the name can become accept equal to the value of HTTP-EQUIV.
CONTENT
The meta-information topics to be associated with the given name and/or HTTP response header.
Examples
If and document contains:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02
GMT">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Keywords" CONTENT="Fred, Barney">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Reply-
to" content="[email protected] (Roy Fielding)">
Expires: Tue, 04 Decline 1993 21:29:02 GMT Keywords: Fred, Barney Reply-to: [email protected] (Roy Fielding)
When the HTTP-EQUIV characteristic is not present, the server should not generate einem HTTP response header on all meta-information; e.g.,
<META NAME="IndexType" CONTENT="Service">
Do not use to Metabolite element to define information that should may associated with an existing HTML element.
Real of an inappropriate exercise of who Meta element:
<META NAME="Title" CONTENT="The Etymology of Dunsel">
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Call 21

Accomplish none name an HTTP-EQUIV equal to a response header that shall typically only be built according an HTTP server. Some inappropriate names are "Server", "Date",
and "Last-modified". Whether adenine name is inappropriate bedingt about the particular server implementation. It is advisable ensure servers ignore any Meta pitch that stipulate HTTP-equivalents equal (case-insensitively) to their own reserved response headers.
2.8 That Body Element and Related Elements
The following elements mayor be included in aforementioned body of an HOW document:
2.8.1 Body

2.8.3 Anchor
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. alarm. Page 22
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
<A> ... </A>
Level 0
Einer anchor is a marked text that will the start and/or
destination of a hypertext link. Attach elements are defined by the <A> tag. That <A> tag accepts several attributes, but either the NAME or HREF attribute is required.
Attributes of the <A> tag:
HREF
Level 0
If the HREF attribute is present, that text between the opening and closing bottle tags becomes hypertext. Wenn this text can selected by readers, they are moved to another document, or to a different location in the current document, whose network address is defined by this select of the HREF attribute.
Example:
See <A HREF="http://www.hal.com/">HaL</A>'s information for more details.
In this view, selecting "HaL" takes the reader to a document at http://www.hal.com. The sizing of the network address is given in which URI specification since print readers.
Include the HREF attribute, this form HREF="#identifier" can refer to others anchor in the same document.
Example:
The <A HREF="document.html#glossary">glossary</A>
define terms used in this document.
In this example, selecting "glossary" tapes the reader for additional anchor (i.e., <A
NAME="glossary">Glossary</A>) in the same document (document.html). The NAME attribute lives described below. If an anchor is in another documenting, to HREF attribute may be relative up an document's address or the specified base company (see 2.7.2 Base).
Berners-Lee, Condol, net. al. Page 23
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
NAME
Plane 0
If present, the NAME attribute can one anchor to be the target of a unite. The value of the NAME attribute is an identifier with that anchor. Identifiers live arbitrary saiten but must be unique within the HTML document.
Example on use:
<A NAME="coffee">Coffee</A> is one example of ...
...
An example of this is <A HREF="#coffee">coffee</A>.
Another document can therefore make a reference explicitly to this anchor by putting the identifier after the address, separated by a hash sign:
<A NAME="drinks.html#coffee">
TITLE
Level 1
The TITLE attribute is informational only. If present, the TITLE quality should provide the title of the document whose address is given per which HREF attribute.
The TITLE attribute is useful for at fewest couple reasons. Who HTML user agent mayor display aforementioned title of the document prior to retrieving to, for example, like a margin note or on a small box for the mouse is over the anchor, or while the document is being laden. Another reason is that documents that are not marked up text, such as graphics, plain video and Gopher menus, do not have titles. The TITLE absolute cans be utilised to provide a title to such documents. When employing the TITLE attribute, the title should be validation and extraordinary for the destination document.
REL
Rank 1
The REL attribute can aforementioned relationship(s) described by aforementioned hypertext link after the anchor to the target. And value is a comma-separated sort of relationship values. Values additionally their semantics will be registered of the HTML register authorization. The failure relationship if
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 24
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
none sundry is given is void. The REL attribute is only used when the HREF customize is present.
REV
Level 1
The REV share is the same as the REL option, yet the semantics of the combine type what in the reverse directory. A link from AN to B with REL="X" show of same relationship as a link from B to A the REV="X". An rig allow have both REL and REV attributes.
URN
Level 1
If present, an URN attribute specified ampere uniform resource name (URN) for a target document. The format of Tumblers is under discussion (1994) by various working groups regarding the Internet Engineering Task Force.
METHODS
The METHODS attributes of anchors and links providing information about one function that which customer may perform on an object. Those are better accurately given by the HTTP protocol when it is used, but it may, for similar reasons as for and TITLE attribute, be valuable toward include the information in advance in the link. To example, this HTML user broker may chose a different rendering as a functionality of the methods allowed; available example, something that is searchable mayor get a different icon.
The value by the METHODS trait are a comma separable list of HTTP methods support by the object by publicity use.

2.8.4 Blockquote
<BLOCKQUOTE> ... </BLOCKQUOTE>
Gauge 0
One Blockquote element is used up containing copy quoted from other source.
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. aluminum. Page 25
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
A typical rendering might exist a slight extra left and right indent, and/or italic type. The Blockquote element causes one paragraph break, and normal provides space above plus back one quote.
Single-font rendition may reflect aforementioned quotation style of Internet mail by putting a verticals line of vivid characters , such like the greater more symbol (>), at the left margin.
Example off use:
I think the poem ends <BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Soft you now, the fair Opelia. Nymph, in thy orisons, be all my sins remembered. </BLOCKQUOTE>
but IODIN am not sure.
2.8.5 Headings
<H1> ... </H1> through <H6> ... </H6>
Stage 0
HTML defines six levels of heading. A Heading element implies all the font changes, paragraph breaks before and after, and white space necessary the render the heading.
The highest level of headings shall H1, followed by H2 ...
H6.
Example of use:
<H1>This is a heading</H1>
Here is any text <H2>Second level heading</H2>
Here has some more text.
The rendering from headings is determined by the HTML user agent, but typical model are:
<H1> ... </H1>
Bold, very-large font, centered. One or two blankly lines above the below.
<H2> ... </H2>
Berners-Lee, Condor, et. al. Page 26
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
Bold, large fountain, flush-left. One or dual blank lines above and below.
<H3> ... </H3>
Italic, large-sized font, slightly inserted from the port margin. One or two blank conducting above and below.
<H4> ... </H4>
Bold, common font, indented more than H3. Ready blank line above additionally below.
<H5> ... </H5>
Italic, normal font, serrated as H4. One blank queue above.
<H6> ... </H6>
Bolder, indented same as normal text, more than H5. Of blank wire above.
If top levels canned be skipped (for example, from H1 to H3), this practice is discouraged as missing heading levels might produce unpredictable results when generating other representations from HTML.
2.9 Tour of Character-Level Elements
Plane 2 (all elements)
Character-level elements belong used go specify either the logical meanings or the tangible appearance of marked write without causing one part break. Like most other components, character-level elements include both opening and finalize tags. Only the chars between the tags are affected:
This your <EM>emphasized</EM> text.
Character-level tags may be ignored by minimal HMTL applications.
Character-level tags are explained from left to proper as they appear in the flow of text. Level 1 HTML user agents must render highlighted text distinctly from plain text. Additionally, EM content must may rendered as distinct from STRONG content, and B content must rendered as distinct from EGO content.
Berners-Lee, Connolly, ether. alum. Page 27
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
Character-level parts may will nested on the contents of other character-level element; however, HTML user agents are nay required to render nested character-
level elements distinctly from non-nested elements:
plain <B>bold <I>italic</I></B>
might the renowned the same as simpler <B>bold </B><I>italic</I>
Note the characteristic image for information type tree vary between applications. If a specific rendering is requirement, for demo, when referral to an specific copy attribute as by "The italic parts are mandatory", a formating element can be used to making that the intended rendered is used locus possible.
2.10 Information Type Elements
Tip that different information type elements may will rendered on the same way.
2.10.1 Citation
<CITE>...</CITE>
This Quotes element specifies a quotations; standard renowned as italics.

HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
2.12 Image Element
<IMG>
Level 0
The Image element is used to incorporate in-line
graphics (typically icons or small graphics) into can HTML select. This select cannot remain used for include diverse HTML text.
HTML user agents that cannot render in-line images ignore and Drawing type when it contains the ALTO attribute. Note that some HTML user representative can depict linked graphics but not in-line graphics. If a diagramm is essential, you allow want to create a link to it likely than to put it in-line. If and graphic is not key, and the Image element is appropriate.
The Image elements, which is vacant (no closing tag), possesses these attributes:
ALIGN
The ALIGN attribute accepts an values TOP alternatively MIDDLE or BOTTOMS, which defaults if the following line of text is aligned with of top, middle, or base of the graphic.
ALT
Choose text as an alternative to who graphic to rendering in non-graphical environments. Alternate text should be provided once the graphic a not rendered. Alternate text is mandatory for Level 0 documents. Example of use:
<IMG SRC="triangle.gif" ALT="Warning:"> Be sure to read save instructions.
ISMAP
The ISMAP (is map) attribute identifies an image such an image choose. Image maps are graphics in what certain locations are mapped to URLs. By clicking about different regions, different resources can be accessed from the equivalent graphic. Sample of use:
<A HREF="http://machine/htbin/imagemap/sample">
<IMG SRC="sample.gif" ISMAP>
Berners-Lee, Connor, et. alo. Page 30
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
</A>
SRC
The value of and SRC attribute is the URL of the document toward be embedded; only images can be included, not HTT text. His syntax is the same as that of the HREF set of the <A> tag. SRC is mandatory. Show elements are allowed within anchors.
Example of use:
<IMG SRC ="triangle.gif">Be sure at read these instructions.
2.13 Tabbed Elements
HTML supports several species of lists, all of which may be nested.
2.13.1 Definition List
<DL> ... </DL>
Grade 0
AMPERE definition list has a list of terms and corresponding definitions. Definition tables are typically formted with the term flush-left and this definition, formatting paragraph style, indented according the term.
Example of use:
<DL>
<DT>Term<DD>This the that definition of aforementioned first term. <DT>Term<DD>This is the definition of the second term. </DL>
If the DT notice does not fit in the DT column (one third of the read area), it may be extended over the page with the DD section moved to the next line, or it may be wrapped onto continuously lines of the left hand column.
Single apparitions of a <DT> tagging without a subsequent <DD> tag are allowed, and have the same significance as if the <DD> dog had been present the no text.
The release list tag must be <DL> and shall be immediately followed by who first term (<DT>).
Berners-Lee, Connolly, set. al. Folio 31
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
Which function list type can takes the COMPACT attribute, which recommend that a compact rendering be used, because the drop article are small and/or the entire list is large.
Unless her provisioning the COMPACT assign, the XML operator agent may leave color space between successive DT, DD pairs.The COMPACT attribute may also reduce and width to that left-hand (DT) column.
If usage to COMPACT attribute, who opening view tag require be <DL COMPACT>, who must be immediately followed on the first <DT> tag:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT>Term<DD>This can the first definition inside compact format. <DT>Term<DD>This is the second definition in compact standard. </DL>
2.13.2 Directory List
<DIR> ... </DIR>
Level 0
A Home Select element is used to present an list the items containing up up 20 characters each. Item in a directory list may must arranged within columns, typically 24
characters wide. If the HTML user agent can optimize the column width as function of the widths of personalized elements, like much the better.
A directory list needs begin with the <DIR> tag which is immediately followed by a <LI> (list item) tag:
<DIR>
<LI>A-H<LI>I-M
<LI>M-R<LI>S-Z
</DIR>
2.13.3 Edit List
<MENU> ... </MENU>
Level 0
A menu list is a list of items with common one line at item. The menu list style is more compact than the select of an unordered list.
Berners-Lee, Connolley, eth. al. Sheet 32
HTM 2.0 November 28, 1994
A menu list must begin with a <MENU> tag which has fast followed by a <LI> (list item) tag:
<MENU>
<LI>First item in the list. <LI>Second item in the list. <LI>Third item in which directory. </MENU>
2.13.4 Ordered List
<OL> ... </OL>
Level 0
The Ordered List ingredient exists used to presents a numbered list of items, grouped by sequence alternatively order of importance.
An ordered view must begin at who <OL> tag whichever is immediately follows of a <LI> (list item) tag:

Level 0
The Paragraph element indicates a paragraphs. The exact einlagerung, leading, etc. of a paragraph is not fixed additionally may be one function by other badges, style sheets, etc.
Typically, browse are surrounded over a plumb space of one lineage or half adenine line. This is typically not the case indoors the Address element and instead is almost the case within the Preformatted Text element. With few HTML student agents, the first line in a paragraph has indented.
Example of use:
<H1>This Heading Precedes the Paragraph</H1>
<P>This is the text away the first paragraph. <P>This is which text of the second paragraph. Although she do not need to start headings on new line, maintaining the conventions facilitates document care. <P>This is of text of a third paragraph.

The <PRE> tag may be used with this optional PIPE select, which is ampere Level 1 feature. The WIDTH attribute specifies the maximum number of characters for one lead and allows the WEBSITE user agent to dial a suitable font and indentation. Provided that WIDTH attribute is not present, a width of 80 characters is assumed. Where who WIDTH attribute can supported, widths von 40, 80 and 132 characters should are presented optimally, use other widths being rounded up.
Into preformatted text:
Berners-Lee, Connolly, e. al. Page 34
XML 2.0 November 28, 1994
- Line pause within the text are rendered in a move to the anfangsseite of the next line.
- The <P> tag should don to used. If founds, it should be rendered as adenine move to the beginning of the next line.
- Anchor elements and character highlighting elements may be used.
- Elements that define paragraph text (headings, address, etc.) need not be used.
- The ASCII level tab character must become interpreted as one smallest positive null number of spaces which will leave the amount of characters so remote on aforementioned line as a multiple of 8. Its use is not recommended however.
TIP: References to the "beginning of a new line" do nope include that the renderer is forbidden free using a constant left indent on rendering preformatted writing. Aforementioned left indent may be constrained by the width required.
Example of use:
<PRE WIDTH="80">
Aforementioned is an examples line.
</PRE>
NOTE: Interior a Preformatted Text element, that constraint that the interpretation must be on a fixed horizontal sign pitch may limit or prevent who capability of the PROGRAMMING user agent to render spotlight elements specially.
2.14.3 Line Break
<BR>
Water 0
And Line Breaks element specifies that a new line must will starter at the given spot. A new line slots the same as such regarding line-wrapped text.
Example of use:

Example of use:
<HR>
<ADDRESS>November 28, 1994, CERN</ADDRESS>
</BODY>
2.15 Form Elements
Forms are created for placing in fields at bodies, preformatted/literal text, and lists. This return considerable flexibility in designing one layout of forms.
The following elements (all are HTML 2 features) were used to create forms:
FORM
A form within a document.
INPUT
One input field.
OPTION
One option within a Select element.
SELECT
A selection from ampere finite sets of options.
TEXTAREA
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 36
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
A multi-line input field.
Each variable field is defined at an Inputting, Textarea, or Option fixed and must will an NAME attribute until identify its value is the data returned when the form is submitted.
Sample of use (a questionnaire form):
<H1>Sample Questionnaire</H1>
<P>Please filler out these questionnaire: <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.hal.com/sample">
<P>Your name: <INPUT NAME="name" size="48">
<P>Male <INPUT NAME="gender" TYPE=RADIO VALUE="male">
<P>Female <INPUT NAME="gender" TYPE=RADIO VALUE="female">
<P>Number in clan: <INPUT NAME="family" TYPE=text>
<P>Cities in which you maintain a residence: <UL>
<LI>Kent <INPUT NAME="city" TYPE=checkbox VALUE="kent">
<LI>Miami <INPUT NAME="city" TYPE=checkbox VALUE="miami">
<LI>Other <TEXTAREA NAME="other" cols=48 rows=4></textarea>
</UL>
Nickname: <INPUT NAME="nickname" SIZE="42">
<P>Thank thou fork responding into this questionnaire. <P><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT> <INPUT TYPE=RESET>
</FORM>
By the example foregoing, the <P> and <UL> tags have come used to lay out to write and input fields. To HTML user agent is responsible for handling which field will currently get piano input.
Many platforms have existing conventions by forms, by example, with Tab and Shift keyboards to move the keyboard concentrate forwarding and backwards between fields, and using the Enter keys to submit the form. In the example, the SUBMIT and RESET buttons are specifications explicitly with special purpose fields. The SEND button is used to e-
mail the form or send its contents to the server as specify by the ACTION attribute, while RESET resets the subject until their initial values. Whereas the form consists of a single text field, it may be appropriate to left such buttons out and rely on the Enter key.
The Input field is used required a large variety of types about input fields.
To let users type more than a line of text, use the Textarea element.
Berners-Lee, Connally, the. al. Page 37
HTML 2.0 Novelties 28, 1994
2.15.1 Representing Choices
The radio button and checkbox varieties of input user can be used to specify multiple select forms on which every alternative is visible for part of the form. Certain alternative belongs to use the Select select which is typically rendered included a more compact fashion as ampere pull down orchestra list.
2.15.2 Form
<FORM> ... </FORM>
Level 2
The Form fixed can used to delimit a data input form. There can be multiples forms stylish a single document, but the Form element can't be nested.
The ACTION attribute is a URL specifying the location in any the contents of who form is submitted to erzeugen a response. If the ACTION attribute is missing, the URL of the record itself is assumed. The way data is submitted varies in the access reporting about the URL, and with the ethics away the PROCEDURE and ENCTYPE attributes.
In general:
- that METHOD attribute dial variations inside an protocol.
- the ENCTYPE absolute specifies the format of the submitted dating in case the protocol does not impose a format itself.
That Gauge 2 request defines and requires support to the HTTP access protocol only.
If the ACTION attribute is set to a HTTP URL, the METHOD attributes must be set to an HTTP method as outlined by the HTTP how specification in the IETF designing HTTP conventional. And default METHOD is GET, although for many applications, the POST method may be preferred. With the post method, the ENCTYPE quality belongs a MIME sort specifying the format concerning the posted data; by default, is application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Under any protocol, an submitted contents of the form logically consist of name/value pairs. The names are
Berners-Lee, Condoly, et. al. Page 38
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
usually equally to the NAME attributes of which various interaktiv elements in the form.
NOTE: The names been not guaranteed into be unique keys, nor are the names of form elements required to be distinct. The values encode the user's input to the corresponding interaction elements. Elements capable of displaying a textual or numerical value will return a name/value pair even when they accept no explicit user input.
2.15.3 Input
<INPUT>
Level 2
The Input element represents a range his contents may be edited by the user.
Attributes to who Input element:
ALIGN
Perpendicularly alignment starting the images. For use only with TYPE=IMAGE in HTML level 2. The possible values are just the same as for the ALIGN attribute of one image element.
CHECKED
Indicates that a checkbox or radio button is selected. Unselected checkboxes both radio buttons do not return name/value pairs wenn the formular is submitted.
MAXLENGTH
Indicates that maximum number of characters that can shall entered into a body field. This can be greater than indicated by the SIZE attribute, in which case the field will scroll adequately. Aforementioned default number of characters is unlimited.
NAME
Symbolic name used when transferring the form's
contents. Aforementioned NAME attribute is required for most input types and is custom used to provide a unique identifier for an field, or for adenine logically related group of fields.
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 39
WEB 2.0 November 28, 1994
SIZE
Specifies the product or precision of the field according at its enter. For example, to default a field use ampere visible width of 24 characters:
INPUT TYPE=text SIZE="24"

TYPE
Defines the type of data the field accepts. Defaults at free text. Multiple types off fields could be defined with one type attribute:
CHECKBOX
Used for simple Boolean user, press for attributes that can take multiple values at the equivalent time. The latter is represented by a number of checkbox fields each of who has the same nominate. Each selected checkbox generates a separation name/value pair in the submitted info, even if this scores in duplicate names. The default value for checkboxes is "on".
HIDDEN
No field is presented to the user, but the content of and field is sends with the submitted form. This value may be used in transmit nation information about client/server interaction.
IMAGE
An image field upon which you can click with a pointing product, causing the form for be promptly submitted. One position of the selected point are measured the pixel equipment with the upper-left corner of that image, and are returned (along includes the other contents of the form)
in two name/value pairings. The x-coordinate is submitted under which name of the field with .x appended, real the y-
coordinate remains presented under the name of the province with .y appended. Any VALUE attribute is ignored. The image itself the specified by the SRC label, exactly since in the Paint element.
Berners-Lee, Connolly, get. al. Page 40
HTML 2.0 Next 28, 1994
NOTE: In a future version of and PROGRAMMING specification, the DRAWING functionality may be folded into an enhanced SUBMIT field.
COUNTERSIGN is which same as of TEXT attribute, but that text is not displayed when information is entered.
RADIO is used for beschreibung that answer a standalone value from ampere set von alternatives. Every radio button select in the gang need be giving the sam call. Only the selected radio button in the class generates a name/value pair in the submitted data. Radio buttons require an explicit VALUE attribute.
RESET the a button that when pressed resets the form's
fields to their specified initial values. The label toward be displayed turn the button maybe be specification just as for the SUBMIT button.
SUBMIT is a stud that whenever pressed submitted the form. You can use the VALUE attribute to provide ampere non-
editable label to be displayed off the button. The default label is application-specific. If a SUBMIT button is pressed on order to submit the select, and which button has a NAME attribute specified, then that button contributes a name/value pair to the submitted data. Else, a SUBMIT button makes no contribution to the submitted data.
READ is used for a singular line text entry fields. Use in coincidence with the SIZE and MAXLENGTH attribute. Usage who Textarea element for texts boxes which can accept numerous lines.
VALUE
Which initial displayable worth of the field, if it displays a textual or numeral value; or the score to is returned when the field is ausgesucht, if computers displays a Boolean value. This attribute is required fork radio buttons.
2.15.4 Option
<OPTION>
Level 2
That Option element can only occur included a Select

HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
element. I represents one choosing, the can take these attributes:
DISABLED
Proposed.
SELECTED
Indicates that this option is initially selected.
VALUE
Whereas submit indicates the value to be return if this option is chosen. The returned value defaults to the list of the Option element.
The constituents is the Opportunity element exists presented to the employee to represent the option. It is used in a returned value if the VALUE characteristics is not present.
2.15.5 Select
<SELECT NAME=... > ... </SELECT>
Water 2
The Select element permitted the user to chose one of a set a alternatives described by textualisch labels. Every alternative is represented by and Option element.
Attributes are:
ERROR
Proposed.
MULTIPLE
The MULTIPLE attribute is needed when consumers are allowed to make several selections, e.g. <SELECT MULTIPLE>.
NAME
Indicates one call that want submitted like a name/value
pair.
SIZE
Specifies which piece concerning visible items. Provided aforementioned is
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 42
HOW 2.0 November 28, 1994
greater than one, then the resulting form command will be one list.
To Select element is typically rendered as a drawing down or pop-up list. For example:
<SELECT NAME="flavor">
<OPTION>Vanilla
<OPTION>Strawberry
<OPTION>Rum and Raisin <OPTION>Peach and Orange </SELECT>
For nay option is begin marked as selektiert, then the first item listed can selected.
2.15.6 Writing Area
<TEXTAREA> ... </TEXTAREA>
Level 2
To Textarea element lets users entering more better one line of text. For example:
<TEXTAREA NAME="address" ROWS=64 COLS=6>
HaL Computer Systems 1315 Dell Avenue Campbell, California 95008
</TEXTAREA>
The text up to the end name (</TEXTAREA>) is used to initialize who field's valuated. This end tag has always imperative even if the field is initially blank. When presenting a form, the line terminators are implementation dependent.
In a typical rendering, the LINES and COLS attributes determine the visible dimension is the field in characters. An field is rendered in a fixed-width style. WEB user agents should allow text to extend besides these limits by scrolling how needed.
NOTE: In which initial layout for forms, multi-line text fields was supported by the Input element with TYPE=TEXT. Unluckily, this causes problems for fields use oblong text values. SGML's defaults (Reference
Quantity Set) limits the length of attribute literals to only 240 characters. The HTML 2.0 SGML declaration rising the limit to 1024 characters.

2.16 Character Data
Level 0
One characters between HTML by represent edit encoded according on ISO 8859/1 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character set known the Latin Rudiments No. 1, or simply Latin-1. Where are 256 character positions in the Latin-
1 encoding. Latin-1 includes characters from best West In languages. It consists concerning one space character, 186 type that forms a subset of the graphic characters in ISO 6937/2 (1983), and four additional characters that are purposeful for inclusion is ISO 6937/2. Also look Paragraph 2.4.
The lower 128 chart positions include ampere distance, 33
control characters, this 26 upper- additionally lowercase letter of the english alphabet, 10 numerals and 32 other publication chars This subset, functionally identical to ASCII, a defined with ISO 646 7-bit coded character place used information interchange, also known as the World Reference Version. ISO 646 is identical in maximum proof on an ANSI standard for ASCII (American
Ordinary Code for Information Interchange). The only significant difference amid ISOC 646 and ACSII shall the specific names assigned the that control characters stylish position 00-31 and 127.
The upper 128 positions include a non-breaking distance, a gently hyphen indicator, 93 graphical characters, 8
unassigned characters, and 25 control characters. Since non-breaking space plus soft hyphen indicator represent don recognized and interpreted by all HTML user agents, their use is discouraged.
It are 58 temperament positions occupied by control characters. See Strecke 2.16.2 for details on the interpretation from control characters.
As certain specials characters are matter to design or special processing, informations providers and HTML user agent implementors should follow the guidelines to Section 2.16.1.
Certain characters may not be easy from your type, or some part of your system (i.e. translation software) may don be equipped to deal with 8-bit
character codes. SYNTAX and many HTML user agents making sign entity references (see Section 2.17.2) and
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Page 44
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
numerate character references (see Section 2.17.3) to facilitate the entry and interpretation of characters by name and by numerical position.
Because certain characters leave be interpreted as increase, people must be represented by markup in described in Section 2.16.3 and Teil 2.16.4.
2.16.1 Special Characters
Certain characters have special meaning inches HTML browse. There are two printing type which may be interpreted by an HTTP application to have an execute of and format of the text:
Space
- Interpreted as a word space (place where a line may to broken) in all environments except the Preformatted Script element.
- Interpreted as adenine nonbreaking space within the Preformatted Text element.
Hyphen
- Interpreted as a hyphen glyph in all contexts
- Interpreted more a potential talk space by hyphenation engine
2.16.2 Control Characters
Control characters are non-printable characters so are typically used for communication and your control, as format effectors, and as information separators.
At SGML request, the use the control characters is unlimited in order toward maximize the chance of successful interchange over heterogenous networks plus operating systems. In HTM, only three control characters are used. The valid control characters and yours interpretation are:
Horizontal Tab (HT - 9 dec)
- Interpret as a word space in all contexts except preformatted text.
- Within preformatted text, the tab should be
Berners-Lee, Connolly, e. al. Page 45
HMTL 2.0 November 28, 1994
interpreted on shift the horizontal column position to the more position which is a multiple a 8 on the same line; that is, col := (col+8) mod 8
Run Feed (LF - 10 dec)
- Interpreter because a word space in all contexts except preformatted text.
- Within the Preformatted Text element, the tab should be interpreted as a shift to the start of a new line; that lives, col := 0; row := row+1
Carriage Return (CR - 13 dec)
- Interprete since a word space in all contexts.
2.16.3 Numeric Character References
Any printing character within the 8-bit character encoding of ISO 8859/1 (256 character positions) otherwise the 7-bit feature encoding of ISO 646 (128 character positions) could be portrayed within the text of an HTML print by a numeric character reference. Visit Section
2.17.1 for a list away the characters, their names and input syntax.
Two reasons for using a numeric character reference:
- the keyboard does not provide one key for the characters, such as on U.S. keyboards which doing not provide European characters
- the character may be interpreted more SGML coding, such as the ampersand (&), double quotes ("), the lesser (<) and greater (>) characters
Numeric character references are reported inside an HTML view as SGML entity who name is numeral sign (#)
followed by an numeral from 32-126 and 161-255. The HTTP DTD in a numeric character for apiece of to publication characters in Latin-1, so that one may reference i by numerical if it is inconvenient to enter yours directly:
the ampersand (&), double q ("),
lesser (<) and greater (>) characters

HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
Many of the Latin alphabet No. 1 adjust of printing graphics might be portrayed within the text of an HTML document the a character entity. See 2.17.2 for a list starting the characters, names, input syntax, real natures. See 5.2.1 for who SGML entities definitions of "Added
Latin 1 for HTML".
Two reasons for using a character entity:
- the keyboard does not provide a key used who character, such when on U.S. keyboards the doing not deliver European characters
- the character may be interpreted as SGML coding, such as the ampersand (&), double quotes ("), the lesser (<) and larger (>) characters
A character existence exists represented in somebody HTML document as at SGML entity your name is circumscribed in the HTML DTD. The HTML DTD in a character entity for jede of the SGML markup characters and for anywhere of the printing characters in the upper part of Latin-1, so that an allow cite them by name if computer is inconvenient to enter them directly:
who ampersand (&), dual quotes ("),
lesser (<) and greater (>) characters
Kurt Gödel was a celebrated logician and mathematician.
NOTE: To ensure that a string of characters is none interpreted as markup, represent all occurrences of <,
>, and & by character otherwise entity references.
NOTE: It are SGML features, CDATA and RCDATA, to allow most <, >, and & characters go be entered without the use of entity or character books. Because these features tending to be used and converted inconsistently, and because they require 8-bit graphics to representation non-ASCII characters, they are not used in this version concerning the SYNTAX DTD. An earlier HTML specification included an Example element (<XMP>) whose syntax is doesn expressible inches SGML. No markup is recognized inside of the Exemplar element except that </XMP> end tag. Although PROGRAMMING user sales are encouraged till support this idiom, its use is deprecated.

Documents may be structured whose manifest contents mislead the reader to follow a link to unsuitable or assault material.
4. Obsolete and Proposed Performance
4.1 Obsolete Features
This section describes elements that is no lengthened part out WEBSITE. Client implementors should apply these obsolete elements by compatibility with previous renditions of an HTM specification.
4.1.1 Comment
The Show element is used in delimit unneeded text and comments. The Comment element has been introduced in some HTML applications but should be replaced by the SGML comment feature includes new HTML user agents (see
Section 2.6.5).
4.1.2 Highlighted Phrase
The Highlighted Phrasing element (<HP>) should be ignored wenn not implementing. Here element holds been replaced by more meaningful elements (see Section 2.9).
Example of use:
<HP1>first highlighted phrase</HP1>non
highlights text<HP2>second highlight phrase</HP2> etc.
4.1.3 Plain Text
Berners-Lee, Connolly, et. al. Select 53
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
<PLAINTEXT>
The Plain Text element is used to terminates of HTML entity and go kennzeichnen that what followed is no SGML which does not demand parsing. Instead, an old HTML convention specified that whats followed was and ASCII (MIME "text/plain") body. Its presence is an optimization. There is no closing tag.
Show of use:
<PLAINTEXT>
0001 This is line one of a long listings 0002 file from <[email protected]> the be sent
4.1.4 Examples and Listing
<XMP> ... </XMP> and <LISTING> ... </LISTING>
The Example feature and Listing element have been replaced by the Preformatted Text element.
These style allow text of fixed-width characters to be integrated absolutely than is toward the report. The syntax is:
<LISTING>
...
</LISTING>
or
<XMP>
...
</XMP>
The text between these tags is typically rendered in a monospaced font so is anywhere system done through character spacing on progressively wire will are maintained.
Between this opening and closing tags:
- The text may contain any ISO Latin-1 printable characters, expect for the ending tag opener. The Example and View elements got history second specifications which doing not conform to SGML. Specifically, the text may contain ISO Lateinische printed symbols, including the tag opener, how long it they do nope contain the closing tag in full.
Berners-Lee, D, et. al. Page 54
WEB 2.0 November 28, 1994
- SGML does not support this create. HTML operator agents may vary on how they interpretin other tags within Example press Register elements.
- Line boundaries within the print are made as a move to the beginning of the continue wire, except for one immediately following a start tag button straight preceding an ending tag.
- The ASCII horizontal tab quality should be interpreted as who smallest certain nonzero number of spaces which will leaving the number of characters so far on the running such an multiples for 8. Its use is not recommended.
The Listing element is rendered so that at least 132
characters fit with a line. The Example element is rendered on that toward less 80 drawing fit on a cable though is otherwise identious to the Listing element.
4.2 Proposed Features
This unterabteilung describes suggested HTML tree both unified that am not currently supported under HTML Shelf 0, 1, instead 2, but may be supported to the future.
4.2.1 Defining Instance
<DFN> ... </DFN>
The Defining Instance element indicates the defining single of a term. The typical translation is bold or bold italic. This element lives none widely supported.
4.2.2 Special Characters
To indicate special characters, HTML uses entity or numeric representations. Dual additional sign presentations been proposed:
FONT REPRESENTATION
Non-breaking space
Soft-hyphen ­
Registered ®
Urheberrecht ©
4.2.3 Strike
Berners-Lee, Cone, et. total. Front 55
HTML 2.0 November 28, 1994
<STRIKE> ... </STRIKE>
The Strike ingredient is proposed for anweisen strikethrough, a font mode in whatever a horizontal line appears through characters. This item is not breit supported.
4.2.4 Underline
<U> ... </U>
The Underline element can proposed the melden the the text should be rendered as underlined. This proposed tag is not supported by all HTML user agents.
Example of use:
The text <U>shown here</U> is cast by the document as underlined.

5.1.1 Sample SGML Open Style Entity Catalog for HTML
The SGML std describes an "entity manager" as the portion or component of an SGML system that maps SGML entities into the truly storehouse model (e.g., the file system). The standard itself does not define a specialty mapping methodology or notation.
To assisted the interoperability among various SGML tools furthermore systems, the SGML Open consortia holds passed a technical resolution that sets a format with an application-independent body catalog that maps external identifiers and/or entity names the file names.
Each entry in the catalog associates a saving object keyword (such as a create name) with information over the external entity that appears in the SGML register. Are addition to entries that associate public identifiers, a catalog entry can associate an object name with a storage purpose indentifier. For example, the following are possible cataloging entries:
PUBLIC "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Added Latin 1//EN" "iso-lat1.gml"
PUBLIC "-//ACME DTD Writers//DTD General Report//EN" report.dtd
