Test Dataset
Let's try introducing an initial paragrpah between the H1 and the
H2 headings.
This one was typed into WWW and saved. If you have two consecutive
headings without any intervening text, the resulting empty normal
paragraph looks rather silly if you have a lot of space before/after
in your style sheet. Link to new page.
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.
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. See also the protected file
.
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 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.
- 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 ordered
list: (We support it as an unordered list)
- This is the first element of an ordered list
- This is the 2nd element of an ordered list. This element contains
more text than one would normally expect to fit onto a line. It should
wrap around onto the next line(s) with the left margin still indented.
- This is the 3rd element of an ordered list
- This is the 4th element of an ordered list
And now, 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 "LISTING" section.

This is the end of the test file.
