This is a blank template for the creation of Inns and Taverns. I gives the recommended headers and and some sample html (the stuff surrounded by the <> brackets). For ease of editing it is given here as plain ascii (.txt file) but would be converted and posted as a html file. Note: that this template does not have to be used, it is merely provided as an aid to those who may find it useful. I have included some comments (within [] brackets) where I though this might be helpful, please delete these. Throughout I will use the term 'inn' to mean both inn and tavern If you are a novice in html a quick guide to the commands used in this document is given at then end of the file. Please note that in html paragraphs are prefixed by '

HTML is a mark up language, which means it uses special commands, called tags, to say how the text should look. In html tags are deliminated by being surrounded by the 'greater than', and 'less than' symbols "<>". These symbols should not be used elsewhere in the text. Most html tags are in pairs, with a starting tag and a end tag, which contains the same text but has a slash "/" in front of the text. Tag text may be in upper or lower case. HTML tags used in this document Text This is a text link, the #text bit is the place to jump to (a hash "#" symbols means it is in the same document. The Text will be highlighted, often by underlining, to indicate the link The place to link (jump) to, the text gives the name of this location Text The text is bold

Start of a new paragraph Html Tables Table are handled in html by defining the table, then defining the row and lastly defining each cell in the row. The commands are: Start a table and give it a visible border
End of table Start a new row in the table Start a new cell in the row Example html table:
Item 1Cost 1
Item 2Cost 2
would produce: +--------+--------+ + Item 1 + Cost 1 + +--------+--------+ + Item 2 + Cost 2 + +--------+--------+
