HTML Controls

HTML is a script language. It uses the text of the standard ASCII keyboard. The basic formatting controls are included between the brackets < and >.

In the title or in the body of the abstract if you wish a sequence of characters to be italicized they must be bracketed with <i> and </i>. For example to create italics, enter <i>italics</i>. Be sure to remember the closing </i> or everything from there on will be italicized.

In the body of the abstract to create a new paragraph, enter <p>. To start a new line, enter <br>.

To create a superscript, bracket with <sup> and </sup>. To create a subscript, bracket with <sub> and </sub>. Again, remember the closing control sequence.

To create a Greek character use the sequence: ampersand, followed by the standard English spelling of the character, followed by a semi-colon.
For example, to create β enter &beta;.

The HTML control sequences are not case sensitive, e.g <P> yields the same result as <p>.

If you know HTML please do not use other HTML control sequences. You will upset the automatic formatting implemented by the program.
