# HTML Help Viewer 5.3.2 - Supported Tags:

      This document describes the subset of HTML supported by Help.
      <!-- -->
        Comment. All tags and text within the comment are ignored by HTML Help.
      <A>
        Help fully supports the HREF and NAME attributes, except that:
          * Links to other files can only be relative, not absolute. So
            HREF="..\foo.htm" works but HREF="C:\foo.htm" does not
          * Double quotation marks "" must always be put around filenames
            and bookmarks e.g. HREF="foo.htm" but not HREF=foo.htm
          * references to web and email addresses are ignored.
          * DOS-style (8.3) filenames should be used.
      <B>
        Bold text is displayed in bright white.
      <BODY>
        Indicates the beginning of the text to be displayed.
      <BR>
        Line break.
      <CODE>
        Code is just displayed as bold text (in bright white).
      <EM>
        Emphasised text like italicised text, is displayed using
        the color magenta (a shade of purple).
      <H1>
        Help puts this header 1 text in bold and puts a thick line
        underneath it.
      <H2>, <H3>
        Header 2 and 3 text is put in bold, and a new paragraph is started.
      <HEAD>
        HTML Header.
      <HR>
        Creates a horizontal rule along the screen. Only a horizontal rule
        without any attributes is supported at present.
      <HTML>
        Denotes a HTML file.
      <I>
        Italicised text is displayed using the color magenta (a shade
        of purple).
      <LI>
        A list object.
      <OL>
        At present, ordered lists are rendered as unordered lists. Embedded
        lists are not supported.
      <P>
        New paragraph.
      <PRE>
        Preformatted text
      <STRONG>
        Strong gext, like bold text, is displayed as
         bright white.
      <TITLE>
        Does nothing - yet.
      <TT>
        TT text, like italicised text, is displayed using the
        color magenta (a shade of purple).
      <UL>
        Embedded lists are not currently supported.

## Character Entities supported in HTML Help:

      Over 250 character entities are supported, including all Latin-1
      entities. NCRs (Numeric Character References) and UTF-8 are also
      supported. However, help can only display those characters that are
      available in the currently active DOS codepage. For a list of codepages
      that help is 'aware' of, type "HELP /C" at the command prompt.

## General Notes on HTML Help:

       1. Text is wrapped if it does not fit on the line.
       2. Tags are case insensitive, so <A HREF="FOO.HTM"> is equivelent to
          <a href="foo.htm">.
       3. The maximum size for a document is 64K.
       4. Only short (8.3) file names are supported.
       5. Help distinguishes between file types by filename extension.
          Therefore the .htm extension is recommended for HTML files.
