HTML 4.0: New Commands


By Joe Burns

     This document contains the HTML 4.0 DTD Declaration Statement. You can look at the source code if you'd like, but this is what it looks like:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">

     The purpose is for you to see the commands in action. For a look at what the new subcommands will do, look here. If what you see below does not give the effect you expect, then your browser probably will not support the command, even with the assistance of the strict.dtd from the World Wide Web Consortium.

     Please note that not every command is represented here, as often there is no visible effect on the page from some commands. The ones that look good, though, are here.
