This is the abstract for this article. It is going to appear on the published page and in the table of contents. The enter abstract will be on the published page, but only the first 240 characters will be in the Table of Contents. This is being entered for testing purpuses.
Body of thePageAdding some text to see what happens when I pre-view the pages.
Just a Small Sidebar | -John C. Smith, Peter J. Jones, Steve P. Peterson The header - enclosed by the and tags - contains information about a page that won't appear on the page itself, such as the title. The body - enclosed by and - is where the action is. Every thing that appears on the page is contained within these tags.
So let's create a simple sample page, shall we? The first step, of course, is to create a new text document (remember, it should be saved as "Text Only" or "Plain Text" if you're using a word processor that's fancier than, say, SimpleText) and name it "anything.html" where "anything" is, uh, anything.

HTML is the lingua franca of the Net. It's a simple, universal mark-up language that allows Web publishers to create complex pages of text and images that can be viewed by anyone else on the Web, regardless of what kind of computer or browser is being used.
Despite what Dana M. Doanyou might have heard, you don't need any special software to create an HTML page; all you need is a word processor (such as SimpleText, BBEdit, or Microsoft Word) and a working knowledge of HTML. And lucky for all of us, basic HTML is dead easy.
HTML is just a series of tags that are integrated into a text document. They're a lot like stage directions - silently telling the browser what to do, and what props to use. First Image on the Page

HTML tags are usually English words (such as blockquote) or abbreviations (such as "p" for paragraph), but they are distinguished from the regular text because they are placed in small angle brackets. So the paragraph tag is , and the blockquote tag is . Some tags dictate how the page will be formatted (for instance, begins a new paragraph), and others dictate how the words appear ( makes text bold). Still others provide information - such as the title - that doesn't appear on the page itself.
The first thing to YAHOOremember about tags is that they travel in pairs. Every time you use a tag - say - you must also close it off with another tag - in this case. Note the slash - / - before the word "blockquote"; that's what distinguishes a closing tag from an opening tag.
