A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the HyperText Markup Language
Working Group of the IETF.

Title : HyperText Markup Language Specification - 2.0
Author(s) : T. Berners-Lee, D. Connolly
Filename : draft-ietf-html-spec-00.txt
Pages : 81
Date : 11/28/1994

The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a simple markup language used to
create hypertext documents that are portable from one platform to another.
HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are
appropriate for representing information from a wide range of applications.
HTML markup can represent hypertext news, mail, documentation, and
hypermedia; menus of options; database query results; simple structured
documents with in-lined graphics; and hypertext views of existing bodies
of information.

HTML has been in use by the World Wide Web (WWW) global information
initiative since 1990. This specification corresponds to the legitimate
capabilities of HTML in common use prior to June 1994. It is defined as an
application of ISO Standard 8879:1986 Information Processing Text and
Office Systems; Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
This specificiation is proposed as the Internet Media Type (RFC 1590)
and MIME Content Type (RFC 1521) called "text/html", or "text/html;
version=2.0".

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-html-spec-00.txt".

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.

For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
