Rachel's First try at HTML

Rachelr is trying exapmles from the Help pages. If you want to learn how to do HTML just click on the Help sitting in the upper right hand corner.

Or you can use this link to the document.

If you actually want to see Rachelr's home page this will get you there.

Hop on Top

If you want to go to a different place in the document press here to hop.

And this is some experimentation with forms that I am doing.

Headers verses titles

When you create a title on an HTML it goes in the Document Title box up there

Headers, on the other hand get bolded and put right in the document itself. The bolded "Headers verses titles" it a title.

Now the neat thing is you can specify different level's of headers. H1's are first level and big bold. H2 are smaller and I suppose it goes on down the line. Lets check it out.

Level 1 header

Level 2 header

Level 3 header

Hop point

 By using the Name directive in the Anchor directive you can hop to new places. If you clicked on the hop up at the top you hopped on down here. It's pretty neat. If you want to try it, you can go back up to the top point.

I've got a little list

Then there is the exciting options of lists. So far I know about unnumbered lists. So I could list some of my interests here:

Hey check it out we can do a numbered list (or is that an ordinaled list?) While I'm at it I'll do a nested descriptive list too.:

Counting Songs

Green Grow the Rushes

In the song "Green Grow the Rushes Oh" (an English folk song I have sung at the Rennaisance Faire) the count for each of the verses is as follows (as far as I can remember).

  1. One is one and all alone
  2. Two lilly white boys dressed all in green-o
  3. Three the rivals
  4. Four for the Gospel Writers
  5. Five are the simples at your door
  6. Six are the ...hmmm forgotten
  7. Seven are the stars up in heaven
  8. And my memory fails me from here on out.

Who Knows One

Another counting song is "Who Knows One". This is a song that is often sung at the Passover Seder. It can be sung in Hebrew, English, or Ladino, or any other language it has been translated into, although I've only heard the above three. Anyway, I will list the verses in English for now.

  1. One is Adonai
  2. Two are the tablets
  3. Three are the fathers
  4. Four are the mothers
  5. Five are the books of the Torah
  6. Six are the books of the Mishnah
  7. Seven forgot a few verses in here too
  8. Eight
  9. Nine
  10. Ten are the Ten commandments
  11. Eleven are the stars
  12. Twelve are the tribes
  13. Thirteen are the aspects of God

Preformatted Text

Every once in a whie you want to have the text on the screen show up with the formatting that you have in the file. (Otherwise Mosaic goes and formats the paragraphs for you.) Well one thing that is often formatted is poetry, so here's an example of pre-formatted text.

This is a bit out of season but here's a haiku on fall. 

                         Early dark
                         Drops Fall
                        Bronze/Yellow
                           Ground

Inline Images

This picture leads you to an image map. This is a gif I scanned in from a copy of the book The Rubiyat of Omar Kayam. I was startled to find it there since I was more familiar with it as a Greatful Dead poster. I'm not really a Dead Head, but some of my friends are. :]
