Forum Post

I saw your forum post about your article, and I think the reason why it's looking more like the spec is because the examples you've given are more or less the same, even though they might reference different things.

Allow me to provide a brief example. If I was writing an article about HTML, and I wanted to describe an element, I'd probably say something to the effect that

HTML elements are any property enclosed by a system of "opened" and "closed" tags; 

such as "<b>" and "</b>".  The element bold surrounds the included text, and 
turned on and off at the points for which you desire bold text.  The actual 
"b" and "/b" are the elements.

Instead of just saying

An element example:

<HTML><Head>Text</Head></HTML>

The above is an example of the HTML and Head elements.

and using the same code to show the examples. I hope this helps a little. --Robert W King 10:08, 1 June 2007 (CDT)
