Presenting Mathematical Concepts on the World Wide Web
Think Visually: Screen vs. Page Design
HTML Design Issues
A Few Common HTML Errors:
- Remember the close-quote in HREF links.
- Avoid spaces immediately after
<LI> or <DD> tags.
- Spaces adjacent to
<A>...</A> should be outside those tags, not inside.
- Use
<DD> only inside of <DL> lists.
- Use
<LI> only inside of <UL> or <OL> lists.
- Use
& for the "&" character.
- Use
< and > for the "<" and ">" characters.
- Use the
<FONT> tag (not<Hn>) to modify font size.
- Don't put tags inside of comments.
- Worshop participants are welcome to offer other suggestions.
