HTML/disc_html
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Acorn User 168: HTML on the cover disc</title> </head> <body> <h1>On the disc</h1> <p>There is an HTML version of this article on the cover disc (you're reading it now :-). I have marked it up as I would for a Web site, with links to separate sections in separate files. I haven't gone overboard on the markup; it's meant to illustrate what HTML looks like rather than look overly pretty. <p>The files can be viewed with any HTML browser such as <cite>ArcWeb</cite> or <cite>Webster</cite> from the first <cite>Acorn User</cite> CD-ROM (heavily updated copies of these programs exist elsewhere). There are some links in it to files on the Internet; obviously these can only be followed if you are on-line. <p>Note that the HTML is taken from an early draft of the article, and may therefore not match what is actually printed. Feel free to copy the files, mess about with them and replace everything with your own text. They're there to be experimented with. <p>There are a few points to note: <ul> <li> By default HTML files have the extension .htm or .html. This is of course totally at odds with RISC OS which uses the fullstop as a separator in path names and so won't allow it in file names. On the Acorn you get round this by ending the files with /htm or /html as you would on a PC disc - the browser translates. <li>I've used lots of tags in the HTML on the disc that I haven't talked about yet. See if you can work out what they all do. <li>The full HTML document would use graphics as well for the screenshots, but I <em>really</em> haven't covered these, so it wouldn't be fair to include them. <li>I'm writing this over Easter, so I've included a couple of 'Easter eggs' on the disc. </ul> <p><a href="index.html">Back to the main article</a>. </body> </html>
