- <h1>Netscape Extensions</h1>
-
- Netscape Communications Corp. have defined their own extensions for HTML
- which they are trying to work into the future HTML standards. This page
- shows the colouring control extensions which they have introduced. This
- version also contains a preliminary implementation of the background sprite
- tiling! The image was taken from Netscape's own <a
- href="http://www.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/bg/backgrounds.html">
- sample backgrounds</a> which are freely downloadable.
- <p>
- If you have the Netscape extensions switched off (on the Options menu) then
- you will not see any difference in the colour styles. The option was
- provided for people who wish to use <256 colour modes for whom some of the
- colours may be unreadable.
-
- <p>
- Another Netscape invention is font sizing: <font size=5>This is size 5 text, <font size=-3>
- and this is size 2.</font>
- <p>
- The latest changes made by Netscape include the ability to <font color=#000000>
- change colour</font> in the middle of a render. I have also added the ability
- to<br>
- <font size=7><sup>superscript</sup> and <sub>subscript</sub> too.
- You can try <sub>Single<sub>Double<sub>Treble</sub></sub></sub> subscript too.</font>
- <p>
- <ul>
- <li><sup>superscript</sup> at the start of a list item
- </ul>
