- AWeb conforms to the HTML 2 standard. There are no standards beyond that,
- except if you count NetScape's extensions, since you could call them a sort
- of de facto standard, even though NetScape itself doesn't conform to the
- logic (ahem) behind them in a lot of cases.
-
- HTML 3 is not a standard, it was a draft which has even expired. If you
- think NetScape's forceful 'innovations' are a good thing (instead of waiting
- for a well thought out and company independent standard) just try imagining
- why people prefer using AmigaOS instead of M$ Windows. Also try to keep in
- mind that HTML was originally meant as a document description format, not a
- page layout format.
-
- If AWeb is not showing all of a page it simply means the page doesn't conform
- to _real_ standards. In such a case select 'compatible mode' from the
- 'control/HTML mode' pull-down menu.
