HTML Xtra Supported Tags

5. Supported Tags

As with most browsers, the recognition of tags is not case sensitive. If a html document does not contain the tags, which are marked as required tags, or if the skeleton of the file is not valid, the Xtra will treat this file as empty or will show unexpected results.

At the moment the following HTML-tags are supported:

1. Skeletal Tags:

<HTML> and </HTML>
(required tag)
<HEAD> and </HEAD>
<BODY> and </BODY>
(required tag)

2. Header Tags:

<META name="..." content="...">
(see "the metalist of member")

3. Body Tags:

<A HREF="..."> and </A>
(see "Callbacks")
<A NAME="..."> and </A>
(see "the Anchorlist")
<IMG SRC="..." WIDTH=123 HEIGHT=123>
(see "the Imageliste")
<UL>, </UL> and <LI>

4. Formatting Tags:

<B> and </B>
<I> and </I>
<U> and </U>
<SUP> and </SUP>
<SUB> and </SUB>
<TT> and </TT>
<PRE> and </PRE>
<FONT face="..." size="..." color=...>
the face argument can contain lists of fontnames
the size argument can have relative values (e.g. +1)
the color argument does only support hex-digit color definitions
<H1> and </H1> to
<H6> and </H6>
<P ALIGN=...> and </P>
(at least one leading <P> is required)
The ALIGN argument supports left, right and center
<CENTER> and </CENTER>
<BR>

5. Character entities

Almost all character entities are supported. The character entities are translated to the correct OS-specific character, if available.

6. Unsupported Tags

In general the HTML Xtra does not support frames, ordered lists and tables. Supported tag specifiers are listed above, others are not supported.

All unsupported tags will be ignored by the parser. Using unsupported tags might however result in a wrong display of the html content.
