VIEWING FIREFOX BROWSER IN LARGE FONT The best way to make the font larger when viewing a webpage in Firefox is to hold down the CTRL button and scroll up using the mouse wheel. This is very useful when showing a web page to a class using a projector. (Source: RF in G492)

INSERTING PDF FILES INTO HTML FILES I finally found this-- I'd cite the link but I didn't note it down. This worked for me-- at least the first part did. The last part is an alernative for readers with browsers that don't support the IFRAME command. <iframe src="http://rasmusen.org/t/images-2008/names.pdf" title="your_title" target="Message" scrolling="auto" width="100%" align="top" frameborder="0" height="620"> <br><br><p align="center">Please click <a href="http://rasmusen.org/t/images-2008/names.pdf">here </a>.</p><br> </iframe>

Image Captions in HTML. "Image captions on Web pages" is good. It said "Sadly enough, there is no markup for image captions in HTML. What comes closest to semantically associating some text content with some image is putting them into a table so that the image is in one cell and the text is either in another cell or in a caption element." Here's an example, elaborated using commands from http://www.case.edu/help/wilbur/ch2.html(try VIEW SOURCE for the code):

FOR IMAGE CAPTIONS: HERE IS THE CODE FOR THE NEXT PICTURE:

Eggs

It is useful to have a way to tell text to go on past the image. That is the next command.
Now we go on.

SYMBOLS

HTML Escape Sequences* To use one of these characters in an HTML document, you must enter its escape sequence instead. The semicolon is optional if you have a blank space after the character, but otherwise you need it to separate off the escape sequence character from the next character, e.g. "x &lt y and x<y and x&lty" becomes "x < y and x<y and x<y"

< the escape sequence for <
> the escape sequence for >
& the escape sequence for &
" the escape sequence for "

&exist &exist &forall ∀ ∈ ∏ ∑ √ ∞ ∫ ∼ ≈ ≠ ≤ ≥ ′ • ∂

"±" "¹" "²" "³" "ℜ" from http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html

THE GREEK ALPHABET

A list of symbols is at: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/symbols.html

Another way is to use the symbol font: l

"Ultimate Cool Characters" says Combining diacritical marks can be used to add a diacritical mark to a desired character. Type the number code for the desired mark immediately after the character you would like to add it to. For example, typing My name is B̃ob would appear as My name is B~ob. Note that this only works for the characters labeled as combining marks (combining grave, combining acute, combining tilde, combining hook above, and combining dot below).

SEARCH ENGINES: (1) The meta tag below for robots tells the robot to not index the webpage and to not follow any links ou of it. For more details, see http://www.kdwebpagedesign.com/tut_meta.asp. <meta name="robots" content="none"> (2) robots.txt files These files allow web site administrators to exclude visiting search engine robots from sections of their site. It's well suited to excluding large portions of a web server from indexing. For example, you might not want a search engine hitting and running the programs in your cgi directories. This method is not particularly suited to excluding single pages (see robots META tags instead). When a robot visits the site http://website.brown.edu, it first checks for the existence of the file http://website.brown.edu/robots.txt This specially formatted file tells the robot which parts of the site to exclude. There can be only one robots.txt file per website; the file http://website.brown.edu/myportion/robots.txt will not be honored. If you want to allow all robots to spider your site, put the following in your robots.txt file: User-agent: * Disallow: If you want to exclude all robots from your site, put the following in your robots.txt file: User-agent: * Disallow: / The following robots.txt file excludes all robots from the URLs http://website.brown.edu/Logs/, http://website.brown.edu/Documents/Local/, http://website.brown.edu/cgi-local/ and http://website.brown.edu/cgi-bin/. User-agent: * Disallow: /Logs/ Disallow: /Documents/Local/ Disallow: /cgi-local/ Disallow: /cgi-bin/ Note that you need a separate line for each area that you want to exclude from search engine robots. Also note the trailing slash which indicates that the entire directory should be ignored by the search engine robots. See http://www.brown.edu/webmaster/search/robotexclusion.html?vm=r HR> STYLE Put this at the start to make the background color white, the first- choice of font trebuchet-ms, the second choice arial, and to set up two CLASS's, one superscript with small font size and the other red font.

<STYLE type="text/css"> BODY { background-color: white } body { font-family: trebuchet ms, arial}  </STYLE>

LISTS

DL and DT are good for lists with headings. You can, in effect, delete the unnecessary extra vertical space that the ol and ul lists add automatically before and after the list. They are for "definition lists". I combine them with the usual ul li unordered list command below.

To read: Viscusi, Chapter 3. FTC "Frequently Asked Questions" on antitrust law.

For Reference: Verizon v. Trinko , 540 U.S. 398 (2004) "U.S. Judge Blocks Antitrust Case against Shipping Giant Stolt," William Bulkely, The Wall Street Journal, 17 January 2005.

Then have another file, temp1.htm, with something that is an expanded version. The following will open a new window and jump right to the text. "Getting Carried Away in Auctions as Imperfect Value Discovery". Bidders have to decide whether and when to incur the cost of estimating their own values in auctions. This can explain why people seem to get carried away, bidding higher than they had planned before the auction and then finding they had paid more than the object was worth to them. Even when such behavior is rational, ex ante, it may be perceived as irrational if one ignores other situations in which people revise their bid ceilings upwards and are happy when that enables them to win the auction.

INSERTING PDF INTO HTML

This method didn't really work for me-- the width wouldn't work. BUt here it is, for reference.

Brad DeLong did it at : http://braddelong.posterous.com/delong-the-modern-revival-of-t . The HTML is a mess, but it looks as if he used some application or add-on called SCRIBD, maybe using Java.

Here is my G492 page: This Is My Web Page for G492 To Illustrate How To Use HTML

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

I put some horizontal spaces in front of this paragraph, to indent it. And I put horizontal spaces just before this sentence too. I'll put some vertical spaces after it. <p>
