How to write HTML

Abstract: A simple guideline for writing HTML documents.

Introduction

This is an initial draft (please comment!) for using HTML that also serves an example. The basic ideas:

• Use stylesheet.
• Start with meaningful <h1> title followed with short abstract.
• Don't use <h1> elsewhere.
• Actual document goes between <hr> elements.
• Keep it simple.

Character encoding

Please use Latin1 or ascii characters sets:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"></meta>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=us-ascii"></meta>
	

Comments

If you want comment somebody's document please do it like this:

I think there's nothing wrong about commenting your own documents.

HTML code:

<p class="comment"><b>I think there's nothing wrong about commenting your own documents.</b></p>
      

Yes, unfortunaly you have to use the <b> tag because all browsers don't support style sheets...

Edit history

Every page should have an history table with information about who has done what and when (like one used in this page).

Template

A template file template.html is available.
