  Hypertext Markup Language
       
           (HTML) A hypertext
          document format used on the World-Wide Web.  HTML is built
          on top of SGML.  "Tags" are embedded in the text.  A tag
          consists of a "<", a "directive" (case insensitive), zero or
          more parameters and a ">".  Matched pairs of directives, like
          "" and "" are used to delimit text which is to
          appear in a special place or style.
       
          Links to other documents are in the form
       
           foo">http://machine.edu/subdir/file.html">foo
       
          where "A" and "/A" delimit an "anchor", "HREF" introduces a
          hypertext reference, which is most often a Uniform Resource
          Locator (URL) (the string in double quotes in the example
          above).  The link will be represented in the browser by the
          text "foo" (typically shown underlined and in a different
          colour).
       
          A certain place within an HTML document can be marked with a
          named anchor, e.g.:
       
           
       
          The "fragment identifier", "baz", can be used in an HREF by
          appending "#baz" to the document name.
       
          Other common tags include 
 for a new paragraph, ..
          for bold text,
