HTML Extensions

<blink>...</blink>

Have you ever seen that annoying blinking text? Well, this is how you do it. Use it sparingly.

<table>...</table>

This allows you to make a table in your HTML document. See the CS1 page for more details (http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~escobarj/cs1/rec/rec.html).

<hr size=3 width=20% [noshade]>

These are some of the other ways you can manipulate the horizontal rule. The size attribute specifies the thickness of the line and the width attribute is relative to the either the size of the normal <hr> or the size of the browser window. The optional noshade attribute controls the 3D look of the line. Using this option would make the line completely black.

<ol type=I start=4>...</ol>

This allows you to control the ``bullets'' of the ordered list. The argument to the type attribute is either 1,i,I,a or A. In this case I used ``I''. The argument to the start attribute is a number indicating where to start the numbering. The example I used will replace the ``bullets'' with type=I which is capital Roman numerals starting with the number ``IV'' which is start=4.
