[access-uk] Re: HTML versus plain text

Hi Barry,

HTML, as used on many web pages, is what's called a "Tagged
Language".  For example <h1>Heading</h1> would make the word
"Heading" into a visible heading style.  Of course you do
not see what's between the < and > signs.

Plain text is just plain text.  No bold, changing fonts
size, etc..

To make an e-mail link in plain text, simple put "mailto:";
(without the quotes) immediately before the e-mail address.

With web page links, normally just making sure the "www." is
included in the address is usually sufficient to make it
into a link.

George.

What is the difference between the two, other than stopping
the dreaded equals signs?  If I put an email address or web
address in a message in plain text, would it still be a
link?
Thanks
