Text Support

This page will allow you to test a browser's/navigator's compliance with the working draft of HTML 3.2 text markup tags.
Well-designed Web client software will not "break" when it encounters an unknown tag, it will just ignore it.

Note that the HTML 3.2 tags presented are but a small subset of what HTML 3.2 plans to have.
Please visit the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) page for a look at the proposed HTML 3.2 specification.

Text alignment

Besides the ALIGN=CENTER attribute for <P> and header tags, text, tables, inline images, etc. all content within a page can be centered using the <CENTER> tag.

Example:

Regular text.
Centered text.

Horizontal Rule

HTML 3.2 adds the ALIGN=LEFT|CENTER|RIGHT, NOSHADE, SIZE, and WIDTH attributes for the basic horizontal rule tag; <HR>

Examples:

<HR NOSHADE>
<HR SIZE=3>

List tags

The proposed HTML 3.2 specification includes several new attributes.

List definitions, for both ordered and unordered lists, can be found in either the <UL> or the <LI> tags.
Type definitions for unordered lists consist of disc, circle, and square.

Type definitions for ordered lists consit of I for roman numerals, A for uppercase alphabet, a for lowercase alphabet, or 1 for the default numbering system.

Ordered lists can begin at a specific point in a listing scheme with the START attribute.
No matter which definition type is used, the START only accepts a number. If the type is 'I' and START=3, then the first element will show 'III'; if the type is 'a' and START=6, then the first element will be 'f' and so on.

Examples:

Unordered Lists: Ordered Lists:
  1. start=5, type=A
    (Sample output: E. start=5, type=A)
  1. start=3, type=a
    (Sample output: c. start=3, type=a)
  1. start=9, type=I
    (Sample output: IX. start=9, type=I)

Additional supported text styles:

<BIG>...</BIG>
plain text big text plain text

<SMALL>...</SMALL>
plain text small text plain text

<SUP>...</SUP>
plain text superscript text plain text

<SUB>...</SUB>
plain text subscript text plain text

<STRIKE>...</STRIKE>
plain text strike through text plain text
