D. The HTML 3.2 DTD
The HTML 3.2 standard is formally defined as an SGML Document Type Definition (DTD). It is from this DTD that the standard is documented, and upon which this book is based. Note that we have reprinted this DTD verbatim and have not attempted to add extensions to it. Where our description and the DTD deviate, assume the DTD is correct.
<!--
W3C Document Type Definition for the HyperText Markup Language
version 3.2 as ratified by a vote of W3C member companies.
For more information on W3C look at URL http://www.w3.org/
Date: Tuesday January 14th 1997
Author: Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org>
HTML 3.2 aims to capture recommended practice as of early '96
and as such to be used as a replacement for HTML 2.0 (RFC 1866).
Widely deployed rendering attributes are included where they
have been shown to be interoperable. SCRIPT and STYLE are
included to smooth the introduction of client-side scripts
and style sheets. Browsers must avoid showing the contents
of these element Otherwise support for them is not required.
ID, CLASS and STYLE attributes are not included in this version
of HTML.

LINK has been part of HTML since the early days
although few browsers as yet take advantage of it.
Relationship values can be used in principle:
a) for document specific toolbars/menus when used
with the LINK element in the document head:
b) to link to a separate style sheet
c) to make a link to a script
d) by stylesheets to control how collections of
html nodes are rendered into printed documents
e) to make a link to a printable version of this document
e.g. a postscript or pdf version

<!--=================== Java APPLET tag ===================================-->
<!--
This tag is supported by all Java enabled browsers. Applet resources
(including their classes) are normally loaded relative to the document
URL (or <BASE> element if it is defined). The CODEBASE attribute is used
to change this default behavior. If the CODEBASE attribute is defined then
it specifies a different location to find applet resources. The value
can be an absolute URL or a relative URL. The absolute URL is used as is
without modification and is not effected by the documents <BASE> element.
When the codebase attribute is relative, then it is relative to the
document URL (or <BASE> tag if defined).
