HTML is the code a browser interprets to present your page to a site visitor. To view
the HTML for this page, choose Source or Document Source from your browser's
View menu. Note that:
- The description of each element on this page is enclosed by tags. For example, <TABLE> begins the description of a table and </TABLE> ends the description.
- A tag can include attributes that qualify the element. For example, the tag
<TABLE BORDER=1 WIDTH=100> includes border and width attributes.
- An HTML page always begins with an element called <HEAD> describing attributes that apply to the page overall.
- Each page also has an element called <BODY> that describes all the elements on the page.
A special tag encloses comments. A comment is text that your browser does not interpret, but that an author includes in the HTML file to make it easier for people to read and understand. For example, <!-- End of the Header for this Page --> indicates the end of the <HEAD> section. You can set NetObjects Fusion to display comments in the HTML files by choosing the option Generate HTML comments in the Modify tab of the Configure Publish dialog box in Publish view.

When you preview or publish a site, NetObjects Fusion generates the HTML for your pages automatically, describing the objects you placed on each page in the order they appear from left to right, top to bottom, according to the HTML 2.0 standard.
To add your own HTML to that which NetObjects Fusion generates, add it as a script
as described in the remainder of this note. As an alternative, if you already have one or more pages coded in HTML, you can import them into NetObjects Fusion, or add them as External HTML as described in your NetObjects Fusion 2.0 User Guide. Resist the temptation to directly edit the HTML files NetObjects Fusion creates. Any changes you make to those files will be lost the next time you preview or publish the site.
