top ten html extensions that did not make it into
netscape 1.0N*
<WIRED>...</WIRED>
Renders the enclosed text in Sturm und Drang 374 Medium Bold Condensed,
in light purple on a neon orange background. Tells you repeatedly
how cool you are for using netscape.
- <ROACH>....</ROACH>
When selected, the enclosed text runs and hides under the nearest window.
OR, giggles a lot and demands nachos, depending on your definition of
"roach." (the formal definition, of course, to be determined by the
Official Honorary Internet Standards Committee For Moving Really Slowly.)
- <KILL_SGML>
Should anyone foolish enough to think that HTML is still SGML and try and
run a netscape-html document through an SGML editor, processor, or other
tool, this tag causes an immediate core dump, erases anything on your
disk with "DTD" in the name, and emails a randomly-selected insult to Tim
Pierce.
- <PINHEAD>...</PINHEAD>
Inserts "zippyisms" into the enclosed text. Perfect for those professional
documents.
- <SECRET>....</SECRET>
In order to read the enclosed text, you have to have secret spy decoder
glasses (available direct from Mcom for a reasonable fee).
You can also read it by holding your computer in front of a full moon
during the autumn solstice.
<HYPE>
Causes Marc Andreesen to magically appear and grant you an interview
(whether you want one or not).
Please use this tag sparingly.
- <PEEK>....</PEEK>
- <POKE>...</POKE>
So you want more control over screen layout in HTML? Well, here ya go.
- <YOGSOTHOTH>
Summons the elder gods to suck away your immortal soul. Or Bill Gates, if
the elder gods are busy.
Unpredictable (but amusing) results occur when the
<YOGSOTHOTH> and <HYPE>
tags are used in close proximity.
- <BLINK>...</BLINK>
Causes the enclosed text to...
ooops, that one made it in.
*
because they ran out of beer.
