NOTE: All the included notes apply specifically to the REB1200 as per introduction.
Since the interpretation of the default headers varies considerably between platforms (browser, REB1200, REB1100), it is recommended to manually defining a style for each.
Bold: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Italic: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Underlined: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Strike-through: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Note that "bold" and "strong", "italic" and "emphasis", as well as "small" and "teletype" produce a similar result.
The "s" tag is not supported, "strike" must be used. "blink", "marquee" and "spacer" are not supported at this time. The "code" tag is recognized, but doesn't seem to produce any effect.

Obviously this family offers only one size, i.e. specifying "size" is unnecessary.
IN GENERAL: The 'face' attribute is not supported, 'style="font-family:xxx"' must be used. 'basefont' is not supported.
This includes the "standard characters" plus the following exceptions, due to their particular use in HTML code:
& & &
< < <
> > >
" " " ,on the other hand, is widely supported in it's plain form nowadays.

As you can see, seven entities are currently not supported, even when using the numerical equivalent:
ETH, eth, THORN, thorn, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 (replaced by "?")
I recommend using named entities, since they are easier to remember, and numbered entities might yield odd results if the encoding changes for some reason.
Related to that is the issue with Unicode characters in the following part.
Special Latin Characters (338-402):
Œ œ Š š Ÿ ƒ
Œ œ Š š Ÿ ƒ
General Punctuation (8194-8230):
– — ‘ ’ ‚ “ ” „ † ‡ • …
– — ‘ ’ ‚ “ ” „ † ‡ • …
More General Punctuation (8240-8260):
‰ ‹ › € ′ ″ ‾ ⁄
‰ ‹ › € ′ ″ ‾ ⁄
Miscellaneous Characters(8472-8501):
℘ ℑ ℜ ™ ℵ
℘ ℑ ℜ ™ ℵ
Arrows: (8592-8660):
← ↑ → ↓ ↔ ↵ ⇐ ⇑ ⇒ ⇓ ⇔
← ↑ → ↓ ↔ ↵ ⇐ ⇑ ⇒ ⇓ ⇔
Technical Symbols (8968-9002):
⌈ ⌉ ⌊ ⌋ 〈 〉
⌈ ⌉ ⌊ ⌋ 〈 〉
Miscellaneous Shapes (9674-9830):
◊ ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦
◊ ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦
Unicode is only partly supported:
Œ | Œ |
---|---|
œ | œ |
Š | Š |
š | š |
Ÿ | Ÿ |
ƒ | ƒ |
| ‌ * |
– | – |
— | — |
‘ | ‘ |
’ | ’ |
“ | “ |
” | ” |
‡ | ‡ |
† | † |
• | • |
… | … |
‰ | ‰ |
‹ | ‹ |
› | › |
™ | ™ |
* ‌ = Zero Width Non-Joiner
Note that apparently ONLY the named entities, but not the numbered entities are parsed.
For example: — works, but — doesn't.
The Greek Capitals, Greek Smalls and Mathematical Symbols do not seem to be supported. Since they are all fairly large sets, I have only tested the most common ones, without success. I may include them fully at a later date.
Remember that Stylesheets are the recommended way of dealing with most of the previous items.
This concludes the Text Basics Chapter.
