text, and should be monospaced (<CODE></CODE> tag). (Messed up PS)This is preformatted text, and should be monospaced (<PRE></PRE> tag).
This is blockquoted text, and should be indented (<BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE> tag). (Not impl. PS!)This is big text (<BIG></BIG> tag). (Not impl. MM10, MN11, XM24, MA, ??)
This is both big and font size +1 text.
This is both small and font size -1 text.
This uses "ALIGN=CENTER" modifiers to the <Hx></Hx> and <P></P> tags.
It is claimed to be more widely implemented.

This image uses MIDDLE, HSPACE, & VSPACE, so should be centered with 8 pixels of H & V space around it.
This text should be "wrapped" around the image,
with the image on the right side of the screen;
it uses the "ALIGN=RIGHT" extension to the <IMG> tag.
Again, it may be necessary to reduce your screen size to actually see the wrapping happen.
