Appendix A. HTML Reference

By Steve Kern

IN THIS APPENDIX

• Applet Tags
• Document Tags
• Formatting Tags
• Frameset Tags
• Hyperlink Tags

This reference is not meant to be a complete listing of HTML tags, but it is intended to cover tags that you might frequently use or that are otherwise interesting. For example, although you might have little need to use the applet or frameset tags, they are included for informational purposes. Tags such as those related to input and forms are not listed at all because Domino Designer handles those tags and because you will not likely create a form from scratch with input tags. Similarly, there is no reason to cover tables because tables are handled easily in Notes. You can always find the latest specifications at www.w3.org. This is the URL for the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3), which is the group responsible for formalizing and standardizing the HTML language.

HTML tags are grouped in this appendix by their usage: applet, document, formatting, frames , and hyperlink. A tag's type (standalone or container), its syntax, and a brief description follow each tag name . My intention is to provide you with a quick, handy reference to locate tags that you might want to use. You can then research them further, as needed, on the Web.
