Abstract
This is a sample HTML document for the MMSP99 CD-ROM proceedings. The purpose of this document is to:
- provide a uniform format for all the papers;
- help authors who have not written HTML files before by providing an example of how different HTML tags are used.
To determine how this document is organized and learn more about the formatting tags we use for individual components, use "View source" (or something similar) in your document viewer. To save the source, use "Save as" (or something similar) and choose the format "HTML".
This is a document that illustrates the general format for the electronic papers that will form the CD-ROM Proceedings.
Please observe that this is a single document, rather than a collection of linked documents. This allows the readers to print the entire paper easily. For the same reason and for compatibility reasons, we DISCOURAGE the use of frames in your document.
You can think of the structure of this HTML document as a tree. You can access each section and subsection of the document from the table of contents. When you get to the end of a Section, you should place a back link to the table of contents. At the end of each subsection you should place a link to the parent section. Likewise, if you have a sub-subsection, you should place a back link to the parent subsection, etc. This is illustrated in Figure 1.

If the image size is large or if you are introducing audio and video objects, you can establish a link to it in a caption or box. The reader will need to click on a highlighted word to bring up the object. This is shown below for the same Figure 1.

Make sure that internal links to parts of your paper do not include host names, and are relative to the current directory. This is essential for making your document portable to the CD-ROM. External links to other documents on the WWW, for example, references and author's home page, should include the complete URL.
For simple equations, one can use <SUB> and <SUP> tags in HTML 3.2. More complicated equations can be generated using a word processor, then saved in postscript or GIF format, and finally included as an in-line image. Further description can be found by clicking here.
As footnotes are an odd concept when documents do not have pages i) and therefore do not have identifiable "feet," you should use endnotes rather than footnotes. In the previous sentence, there is an endnote that is linked to the corresponding endnote in the endnotes section. Clicking on that will bring you to the endnote.
HTML and the WWW provide new opportunities for bibliography usage and we strongly encourage authors to make the references in the body of their text links to the bibliography. In addition, any references to online documents in the bibliography should be links to those documents.
Check examples of an article in a journal [1], a book [2], an article in an edited book [3], an article in a proceedings [4], and of three Web documents [5], [6], [7].
i) Some people even suggest that footnotes should be avoided in page-formatted documents. However, if you have footnotes in the hardcopy version of your paper, this is the way to deal with them in the electronic version of your paper. You can use "Back" (or something similar) in your document viewer to go back to where you were.
