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
I'm not going to attempt to give a tutorial on HTML, but rather give a quick explanation of some of the html used in the document.
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

highlighted, often by underlining,
to indicate the link
