Plain text
In
the previous exercise we prepared the base of the HTML file. Inbetween
the <body> </body> tags we can type text, without any coding.
Action
Just
try it out, take the html file of the previous chapter and type the following
lines (give normal hard-returns for line-breaks):
LovelyMaps
What is that?
A small company, three enthusiastic cartographers who have their own ideas
on how maps should look like. We can make the real "old-fashioned
maps", but with the newest techniques we prefer to produce just that
different map you are looking for.
Our names are: Jürgen Labowski (also project coordination), John
Mitchell (also acquisition) and Anne Langdon (design proposals).
We are specialized in Tourist maps and Route maps, but are of course capable
of making all types of cartographic products.
Save the file and open it in your browser, you should
see something like ....
Most
likely the ü is not appearing in the way it should, but as a strange
symbol or very different character. Every normal character of the alphabet
is displayed correctly, but for special symbols, like accents, a special
code is used.A
list of most occuring accents and their code:| é | é | ñ | ñ | |
| á | á | ø | ø | |
| ü | ü | â | â | |
| ë | ë | å | å | |
| ç | ç | æ | æ |
 |
The small
character can be replaced with a Capital character if needed. The
open (&) and close (;) symbol always have to be there, the character
and the accent description can change. Within the HTML text the code is entered like this: Jürgen to get Jürgen. |
The
second problem noticed is one long line of text, what you already might
have expected after the previous few activities you did. Continue to the
next page, and let's see what has to be done get the text more organized.
