NAME cat -- concatenatefiles EXAMPLE catThe content of the above PRE element is: A B element The string `` cat -- concatenate'' An A element The string ``\n'' Another B element The string ``\n cat . After the comment delimiter, all text up to the next occurrence of -- is ignored. Hence comments cannot be nested. Whitespace is allowed between the closing -- and >. (But not between the opening HTML Guide: Recommended Usage There are a few other SGML markup constructs that are deprecated or illegal. Delimiter Signals... . . LINE BREAKS A line break character is considered markup (and ignored) if it is the first or last piece of content in an element. This allows you to write either
some example textor
some example textand these will be processed identically. Also, a line that's not empty but contains no content will be ignored altogether. For example, the element
first line third line fourth linecontains only the strings first line third line fourth line. SPACES AND TABS Space characters must be rendered as horizontal white space. In HTML, multiple spaces should be rendered as proportionally larger spaces. The rendering of a horizontal tab (HT) character is not defined, and HT should therefore not be used, except within a PRE (or obsolete XMP, LISTING or PLAINTEXT) element. Neither spaces nor tabs should be used to make SGML source layout more attractive or easier to read. SUMMARY OF MARKUP SIGNALS Berners-Lee and Connolly 10 The following delimiters may signal markup, depending on context. Delimiter Signals Berners-Lee and Connolly 32 Berners-Lee and Connolly 33 Berners-Lee and Connolly 35 ]> Berners-Lee and Connolly 36 LINK RELATIONSHIP VALUES Status: This list is not part of the standard. It is intended to illustrate the use of link relationships and to provide a framework for further development. Additions to this list will be controlled by the HTML registration authority . Experimental values may be used on the condition that they begin with "X-". These values of the REL attribute of hypertext links have a significance defined here, and may be treated in special ways by HTML applications. These relationships relate whole documents (objects), rather than particular anchors within them. If the relationship value is used with a link between anchors rather than whole documents, the semantics are considered to apply to the documents. In the explanations which follows, A is the source document of the link and B is the destination document specified by the HREF attribute. A relationship marked "Acyclic" has the property that no sequence of links with that relationship may be followed from any document back to itself. These types of links may therefore be used to define trees. Relationships between documents These relationships are between the documents themselves rather than the subjects of the documents. USEINDEX B is a related index for a search by a user reading this document who asks for an index search function. A document may have any number of index links, causing several indexes top be searched in a client-defined manner. B must support SEARCH operations under its access protocol. USEGLOSSARY B is an index which should be used to resolve glossary queries in the document. (Typically, a double-click on a word which is not within an anchor). A document may have any number of glossary links. ANNOTATION Berners-Lee and Connolly 37 The information in B is additional to and subsidiary to that in A. Annotation is used by one person to write the equivalent of "margin notes" or other criticism on another's document, for example. Example: The relationship between a newsgroup and its articles. Acyclic. REPLY Similar to Annotation, but there is no suggestion that B is subsidiary to A: A and B are on equal footings. Example: The relationship between a mail message and its reply, a news article and its reply. Acyclic. EMBED If this link is followed, the node at the end of it is embedded into the display of the source document. Acyclic. PRECEDES In an ordered structure defined by the author, A precedes B, B is followed by A. Acyclic. Any document may only have one link of this relationship, and/or one link of the reverse relationship. Note: May be used to control navigational aids, generate printed material, etc. In conjunction with " subdocument ", may be used to define a tree such as a printed book made of hypertext document. The document can only have one such tree. SUBDOCUMENT B is a lower part in the author's hierarchy to A. Acyclic. See also Precedes . PRESENT Whenever A is presented, B must also be presented. This implies that whenever A is retrieved, B must also be retrieved. SEARCH Berners-Lee and Connolly 38 When the link is followed, the node B should be searched rather than presented. That is, where the client software allows it, the user should immediately be presented with a search panel and prompted for text. The search is then performed without an intermediate retrieval or presentation of the node B SUPERSEDES B is a previous version of A. Acyclic. HISTORY B is a list of versions of A A link reverse link must exist from B to A and to all other known versions of A. Relationships about subjects of documents These relationships convey semantics about objects described by documents, rather than the documents themselves. INCLUDES A includes B, B is part of A. For example, a person described by document A is a part of the group described by document B. Acyclic. MADE Person (etc) described by node A is author of, or is responsible for B This information can be used for protection, and informing authors of interest, for sending mail to authors, etc. INTERESTED Person (etc) described by A is interested in node B. This information can be used for notification of changes. Typically, this is a request that, when object B changes in some way, a new link is made to object A. The phrase "object B changes" may be interpreted narrowly (as "B itself changes") or widely (as "B or anythink linked to it or related to it closely changes"). The amount of change considered worth notifying people about is also subject to interpretation, varying from bit changes in the source to a "new edition" statement Berners-Lee and Connolly 39 by the publisher. REGISTRATION AUTHORITY The HTTP Registration Authority is responsible for maintaining lists of: Relationship names for link and anchor elements It is proposed that the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority or their successors take this role. Unregistered values may be used for experimental purposes if they are start with "X-".
