Self-study questions What happens if you accidentally leave the closing tag </b> off of a bold-face portion of text? What happens if you accidently misspell the <b> tag as <bx>? How would you make some text both bold face and italicized? What does the <hr /> tag do? What happens if you leave out the </h2> at the end of a heading? What happens if you accidentally leave the "<" off of a tag? Does it matter if tags are in upper case or lower case? We introduced several HTML tags that altered the appearance of the page in this presentation. Do you recall what they were and what each does? An HTML page has two sections, what are they and what tags are used to start and end them? What tags start and end an entire HTML page?

What does have to be changed when the HTML standard is revised?
