This is really a question about HTML and web browswers, not abc. Only
HTML files supports tags as far as I know, so you cannot put tags in
abc files, just as you cannot put tags in JPEGs, PNGs, Postscript
files or plain text files. However, if you are prepared to write a
few scripts to process abc files and produce HTML, you can probably
find a way to get what you want.
