This document demonstrates some of the features of HTML that are supported by Outside In Viewer Technology.
<ADDRESS>

internet address information. Text in an address tag is usually set off from the body
of the document and displayed in italics:
George Washington<BLOCKQUOTE>

This is a blockquote. It is typically used in place of the <Q> (quote) tag around multiline quotations. It is usually displayed indented and occasionally in an italic font.
<CITE>
tag is used around a citation to make it stand out from
regular text. This is a citation.
<CODE>
tag is used to offset programming code samples from the
rest of document. They are typically displayed in a monospace font:
This is a code sample.
<FONT size=1>
<HR>
<HR size=4>
<FONT size=3>
<DEL>
tag is used around revision text that has been deleted. How
this text is displayed and whether it is displayed is dependant on the viewer.
Typically, delete-revision text will not normally display, but a mode may be
available to display it in a different color or font, or as strikeout text.
<DFN>

a term definition
<EM>
tag is used to impart emphasis, and is typically displayed in
italics. This is emphasized text.
<INS>
tag is used around revision text that has been added. How
this text is displayed is dependant on the viewer. Typically, a mode will
be available to display added text in a different color or font than normal
text. This is added text
<KBD>
tag indicates text typed by the user, for instance in an
instruction manual. This is user-entered text.
<Q>
tag is used around short quotations. The text is typically
enclosed in quotation marks appropriate to the current language. This is a short quotation
<SAMP>
tag is used to indicate a sequence of literal characters.

<STRONG>
tag is used to impart strong emphasis, and is typically
displayed in bold. This is strongly emphasized text.
<VAR>
tag is used to indicate a variable name, for instance in an
instruction manual. This is a variable name.
<BASEFONT>
tag is used to specify the default font
that will be used in a document.
Using the plain
attribute to UL creates an unordered list without
bullets:
Without the plain
attribute, the list typically uses standard round filled bullets:
The character used for the bullet may be selected by specifying the dingbat
attribute to UL. The list below uses the copyright symbol (©) as a bullet:
compact
attribute to UL indicates that the viewer should compress the
display of the list to use less area:
type
attribute may be used to specify one of three preset
bullet types: disc, circle or square.This list uses the 'circle' bullet:
This list uses the 'square' bullet:
This is an unordered list that defaults to disc bullets, with some list items specifying bullet types:
The standard ordered list uses arabic numbers, and may or may not have a header using the <lh> tag:
The continue
attribute to OL specifies that the list should begin numbering where the
last list left off:
The start
(or seqnum
) attribute to OL specifies the starting number for the list. This
list starts at 5:
The compact
attribute to OL indicates that the viewer should compress the
display of the list to use less area:
HTML supports five different numbering types: Numbers, capital letters,
lowercase letters, uppercase roman numerals, and lowercase roman numerals:
This list uses numbers:
The numbering state may also be set for each individual list item. The list below has a type of 'A' (uppercase alphabetical), with some list items specifying values and types:
