Test Dataset
This is an example bit of hypertext - compare the formatted version with
the original
HTML source. Let's try introducing an initial paragrpah between the
H1 and the H2 headings.
Introduction
This file contains a test set of HTML mark-up, as a test of hypertext
browsers and an example of the syntax of the tags. See also:
That is the end of the list.
Some anchors
Anchors come in two forms: whole nodes or parts of nodes. The line mode
browser can't currently (Nov 91) jump to a part of a node: it always jumps
to the top.
Leading to whole nodes
Here is an anchor which leads to the
VM FIND command. Note the nested highlighting (hp2) within the
anchor. If you want to click on this,
you will go to the system default page.
Leading to anchors within nodes
Now THIS leads to anchor #2 in this file, and
if you want to click on THIS,
you should go to the system default page with anchor #2 selected. Now the
word "destination" is a named destination anchor,
connected to the word "source" . Clicking
on the destination shouldn't do anything. Selecting the source should lead
to the destination.
Now let's go through the limited set of markup tags which we accept.
The title, "Hypertext HTML formatting example" was between TITLE tags.
"Test Dataset" at the top of this page was a Level One Heading (H1). The
quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. In Hertford, Hereford and
hampshire, hurricanes hardly happen.
Level two heading
Here is some text which follows the heading. The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog. In Hertford, Hereford and hampshire, hurricanes hardly
happen.
Level 3 heading
Here is some text which follows the heading. The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog. In Hertford, Hereford and hampshire, hurricanes hardly
happen.
This is a test paragraph. It is separated from the previous one by a P
paragraph mark.
This new paragraph was separated from the previous one by a blank
line, a horrible leftover from SCRIPT, which violates the free format of
the text.
This was delimited in the same way in the source. The blank line
should have the same effect as a paragraph mark. We have included in
HTML some tags from the SGML tagset used at and once supported at CERN
by quite a lot of
documentation and SGML examples. The HTML parser will ignore tags
which it does not understand, and will ignore attributes which it does
not understand of CERN-SGML tags. Of course, the HTML parser will not
accept any commands in the
SCRIPT language.
Now for an example section, in monospaced font:
_-_ [o,o] \-/ This text is laid out using fixed-width characters
----------- It uses the <XMP> tag, and can contain
embedded < and > signs. It has tabs every eight columns
like good old simple systems we know and love.
12345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812345678
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Column: First Second Third Fourth Fifth Sixth
Seventh Eighth Ninth Index: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Junk: The Quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog. After the example text, we revert to the
default again.
Glossary
Now lets us try out a glossary. A glossary has a large hanging indent
aligned with a first tab stop.
- Glossary
- A list of definitions of terms. Each term is given in a left-hand
column, with a longer textual definition being given in a right-hand
column.
- Term
- A word or phrase being defined.
- Definition
- A sentences or sentences which define the term. the definition can
wrap around in the second column, but the term can't wrap around in
the second column.
And after that dazzling display of formatting, how about an unordered
list:
- This is the first element of an unordered list
- This is the 2nd element of an unordered list
- This is the 3rd element of an unordered list
- This is the 4th element of an unordered list
Now let's try a "MENU" section. It's the same as a list but intended for
single-line sized entities, not too spaced out. It could be a browser
panel.
Now let's try a "DIR" section. It's the same, but elements are expected to
be smaller and to be arranged in columns.
First element of directory
This is the 2nd element
Third
fouth
fifth
sixth element of a directory
This is the 7th element of directory
Now let's try a "LISTING" section. The tabs should be every 8 spaces.
123456781234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567

This is the end of the test file.
