<HTML>Erm, should work, yeah.

btw - you ought to use 'strong' for 'b' as well. Hardly easier to type but...

blockquote should work like this, if you ever fancy quoting here:

<blockquote>No-one would have believed, in the firt years of the 21st century, that minds immeasurably inferior to ours were plotting across the deep voids of the Atlantic ocean. They were scrutinising the world as single-celled organsims study the eye at the top of the microscope, but with less intelligence. And slowly, but surely, they drew their plans to start World War Three (cue massed ranks of strings!)</blockquote></HTML>

<HTML>You can do fonts too - use < font face="name of font" > text < /font></HTML>

<HTML>color="red" size="5" - note the "s btw, font size is really aggravating - use H1 - H6 for different sizes.

For those wanting to put links in... use A HREF="http://www.website.com/ and then just /A to close it.</HTML>

<HTML>By George. I <em>think</em> he's got <font color="orange">it</font> !

(We'll be moving on to lists next.)
<ol>
<li> The tag is < ol > for an <b>o</b>rdered <b>l</b>ist.
<br> Ie. One with numbers
<li> Then each list member needs an < li >
<li> Finally, < / ol > to end the list.
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Unorder lists use < ul >
<li>Comme ca
</ul>

(I'll be amazed if this all works first time !)</HTML>

<HTML>That was HTML Module 1, which will be repeated on Thursday at 0430. The next programme on The Open University features a bloke with a dodgy beard telling us all about Crop Rotation in the 14th Century.</HTML>

<HTML>Funnily enough, that's what I'm looking at at the moment. although in my case it's
Scotland in the 20th Century. Which is pretty similar. And I haven't had a shave for a couple of days too.</HTML>

<HTML>It automatically numbers the list.

Hence removing item 2 doesn't mean that you have to renumber everything
else. (Guess what I've been spending hours doing recently !)</HTML>
