*             CREATING YOUR OWN HTML DOCUMENTS             *
************************************************************

Here is a quick tutorial on how to prepare your HTML 
documents:
   
     * preparing pre-formatted documents 
     * creating simple menus 
     * linking your documents 
     * converting special characters
     * running LYNX with your own documents 
            

A) PREFORMATTED DOCUMENT
                                       
   To use a document as it is, begin the document with:
      <PRE>
   and end the document with:
      </PRE>
   and don't forget to name your document with the .html 
   extension


B) CREATING SIMPLE MENUS
                                       
   To use a document as a menu, begin the document with:
      <menu>
   encode each menu entry with:
      <li> followed by the menu entry name.
   and end the document with:
      </menu>
   and don't forget to name your document with the .html 
   extension


C) LINKING YOUR DOCUMENTS:
                                       
To create a link to another document, called for example 
doc.html, start with:
   
     <a href="doc.html"> accessing document </a>
   
The words: accessing document will become a hot button when 
you run lynx. 


D) CONVERTING SPECIAL SYMBOLS

If you want to use the '<' symbol in an HTML document, 
you will need to convert it to an equivalent expression, 
since the '<' symbol has a special meaning for HTML 
documents.

The equivalent expression for '<' is '&lt;'

Further explanations can be found when you are in Lynx, 
if you select:

     a) ?    to access the help document
     b) Help on HTML
     c) Special characters


E) RUN LYNX WITH YOUR DOCUMENTS
                                       
To run lynx on your own document , called for example 
main.html, start lynx by typing:
   
      lynx main.html
   
In the account where you stored the file main.html.
