Hello, all on this list.
Since I changed my email address, I still can read this list, but
it seems that my mails are not transferred to it.
After unsubscribing with my old address and subscribing with the
new one @listar, I now try it once more...

If you want to address as many surfers as possible by your site,
you should stick to a common standard like HTML 3.2, because there are
still many browsers which don't understand higher versions or
extensions correctly. Using tags of higher versions or extensions
may reduce the acceptance of your site by crashing, if a user
doesn't posses the latest browser version.
Using the latest HTML version (eg. 4.0) does *not* mean that you are
on the secure side; on contrary...

No, if you don't know anything of HTML, how would you be able to
define such HTML macros???
