This guide was designed and written by Alastair Stevens at the MRC Biostatistics Unit in Cambridge, UK. The original version appeared during the summer of 1996, but it has been been through many evolutions since then. This latest version attempts to provide sufficient warning about the current standards mess revolving around HTML, and we sincerely hope you'll find it useful, even if it doesn't describe the latest standards itself!

This guide was created entirely by hand, using only simple text editors. It has been tested using Mozilla and IE, and it also works in Lynx, though with the obvious limitations. Use the mail link at the bottom to send us your feedback or problem reports.

Microsoft Internet Explorer is no longer in development, so you are strongly recommended to use Mozilla, the best cross-platform, standards-compliant browser available.
