<h2>
Basic block level elements
</h2>
<p>
This is a normal paragraph (
<code>
p
</code>
element). To add some length to it, let us mention that this page was
primarily written for testing the effect of
<strong>
user style sheets
</strong>
. You can use it for various other purposes as well, like just checking
how your browser displays various HTML elements.
</p>
<p>
This is another paragraph. I think it needs to be added that the set of
elements tested is not exhaustive in any sense. I have selected those elements
for which it can make sense to write user style sheet rules, in my opionion.
</p>
<div>
This is a
<code>
div
</code>
element. Authors may use such elements instead of paragraph markup for
various reasons. (End of
<code>
div
</code>
.)
</div>
<blockquote>
<p>
This is a block quotation containing a single paragraph. Well, not quite,
since this is not
<em>
really
</em>
quoted text, but I hope you understand the point. After all, this page
does not use HTML markup very normally anyway.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The following contains address information about the author, in an
<code>
address
</code>
element.
</p>
<address>
<a href="#">Here's a Link</a>
,
<a href="mailto:email@example.com">email@example.com</A>
</address>
<h2>Lists</h2>
<p>This is a paragraph before an <strong>unnumbered</strong> list (<code>ul</code>). Note that the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".</p>
<ul>
<li> One.</li>
<li> Two.<li>
<li> Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that for short items lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items. </li>
<li> Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following is a <code>menu</code> list:</p>
<menu>
<li> One.</li>
<li> Two.</li>
<li> Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer so that it will probably wrap to the next line in rendering.</li>
</menu>
<p>The following is a <code>dir</code> list:</p>
<dir>
<li> One. </li>
<li> Two. </li>
<li> Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer so that it will probably wrap to the next line in rendering. </li>
</dir>
<p>This is a paragraph before a <strong>numbered</strong> list (<code>ol</code>). Note that the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".</p>
<ol>
<li> One.</li>
<li> Two.</li>
<li> Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that if items are short, lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.</li>
<li> Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.</li>
</ol>
<p>This is a paragraph before a <strong>definition</strong> list (<code>dl</code>). In principle, such a list should consist of <em>terms</em> and associated definitions. But many authors use <code>dl</code> elements for fancy "layout" things. Usually the effect is not <em>too</em> bad, if you design user style sheet rules for <code>dl</code> which are suitable for real definition lists. </p>

<h2>Text-level markup</h2>
<ul>
<li> <abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</abbr> (an abbreviation; <code>abbr</code> markup used)</li>
<li> <acronym title="radio detecting and ranging">radar</acronym> (an acronym; <code>acronym</code> markup used)</li>
<li> <b>bolded</b> (<code>b</code> markup used - just bolding with unspecified semantics) </li>
<li> <big>big thing</big> (<code>big</code> markup used) </li>
<li> <font size=6>large size</font> (<code>font size=6</code> markup used) </li>
<li> <font face=Courier>Courier font</font> (<code>font face=Courier</code> markup used) </li>
<li> <font color=red>red text</font> (<code>font color=red</code> markup used) </li>
<li> <cite>Origin of Species</cite> (a book title; <code>cite</code> markup used)</li>
<li> <code>a[i] = b[i] + c[i);</code> (computer code; <code>code</code> markup used)</li>
<li> here we have some <del>deleted</del> text (<code>del</code> markup used)</li>
<li> an <dfn>octet</dfn> is an entity consisting of eight bits (<code>dfn</code> markup used for the term being defined) </li>
<li> this is <em>very</em> simple (<code>em</code> markup used for emphasizing a word)</li>
<li> <i lang="la">Homo sapiens</i> (should appear in italics; <code>i</code> markup used)</li>
<li> here we have some <ins>inserted</ins> text (<code>ins</code> markup used)</li>
<li> type <kbd>yes</kbd> when prompted for an answer (<code>kbd</code> markup used for text indicating keyboard input)</li>
<li> <q>Hello!</q> (<code>q</code> markup used for quotation)</li>
<li> He said: <q>She said <q>Hello!</q></q> (a quotation inside a quotation)</li>
<li> you may get the message <samp>Core dumped</samp> at times (<code>samp</code> markup used for sample output)</li>
<li> <small>this is not that important</small> (<code>small</code> markup used)</li>
<li> <strike>overstruck</strike> (<code>strike</code> markup used; note: <code>s</code> is a nonstandard synonym for <code>strike</code>)</li>
<li> <strong>this is highlighted text</strong> (<code>strong</code> markup used)</li>
<li> In order to test how subscripts and superscripts (<code>sub</code> and <code>sup</code> markup) work inside running text, we need some dummy text around constructs like x<sub>1</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O (where subscripts occur). So here is some fill so that you will (hopefully) see whether and how badly the subscripts and superscripts mess up vertical spacing between lines. Now superscripts: M<sup>lle</sup>, 1<sup>st</sup>, and then some mathematical notations: e<sup>x</sup>, sin<sup>2</sup> <i>x</i>, and some nested superscripts (exponents) too: e<sup>x<sup>2</sup></sup> and f(x)<sup>g(x)<sup>a+b+c</sup></sup> (where 2 and a+b+c should appear as exponents of exponents).</li>
<li> <tt>text in monospace font</tt> (<code>tt</code> markup used)</li>
<li> <u>underlined</u> text (<code>u</code> markup used)</li>
<li> the command <code>cat</code> <var>filename</var> displays the file specified by the <var>filename</var> (<code>var</code> markup used to indicate a word as a variable).</li>
</ul>
<p>Some of the elements tested above are typically displayed in a monospace font, often using the <em>same</em> presentation for all of them. This
tests whether that is the case on your browser:</p>
<ul>
<li> <code>This is sample text inside code markup</code></li>
<li> <kbd>This is sample text inside kbd markup</kbd></li>
<li> <samp>This is sample text inside samp markup</samp></li>
<li> <tt>This is sample text inside tt markup</tt></li>
</ul>
<h2>Links</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="../index.html">main page</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch06.pdf" title="Writing Systems and Punctuation" type="application/pdf">Unicode Standard, chapter&nbsp;6</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This is a text paragraph that contains some inline links. Generally, inline links (as opposite to e.g. links lists) are problematic from the<a href="http://www.useit.com">usability</a> perspective, but they may have use as &#8220;incidental&#8221;, less relevant links. See the document
