> I DO need help though
Ok, here is how it goes. You write a normal text document as you would
write an eMail contribution. Then, we suggest that you use a new line
for each hypertext line you insert, in order to have it readable as well
in a non-html'ed environment.
<p> (the insertion of 'p' tags blows up the text as it is useful to
html'ization but might be confusing to ASCII type readers. We will insert
these on the announcement or contribution of yours.)
<p> The use of blank lines
(here was one) is recommended to structure the text for non-HTML environments.
As an example, if you refer to the
<a href=ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov> NCBI file server </a>
this line is fairly readable. Similarly, a link to Don Gilbert's
<a href=gopher://fly.bio.indiana.edu/> Gopher </a>
would make a link to a Gopher easily readable. Last, normal hypertext is
<a href=http://golgi.harvard.edu/biopages.html> Keith's server </a>
as an example for a meta index.
<a name=note>
If you would like to write a document which is suitable to be large
enough that you can use internal pointers, those do not need the http
prefix (in fact, they would hurt, as they avoid to approach the local
document as they point outside rather than to internal notes. To point
to the name 'note' as above, it were sufficient to se a
<a href=#note> simple internal pointer </a>
like this one. One last note; depending on your environment the link to news
<a href=news:bionet.announce> bionet </a>
might or might not work, depending on your news configuration.
<p>

on setup of HTML pages and sophisticated details. )
