Content Specific Guidelines

HTML and Linking

Only valid HTML elements should be used, and now obsolete style elements should not be used. This includes elements such as <b> and <font>. Instead, <em>, <strong>, etc. should be used. For a guide to acceptable HTML elements see the W3C specification. Please note that only lower case elements should be used, and all element properties should be in double quotes. Also note that the tags etc. do not need to be used, as the article part of each page is only one part.
