<ADDRESS></ADDRESS>

Address information

The address tag is designed to enclose author and address information or other related information.

        <html>
        <head>
        <title>Some Title</title>
        </head>
        <body>
            .
            .
==>>    <ADDRESS>
==>>    Address Line 1<BR>
==>>    Address Line 2<BR>
==>>    </ADDRESS>
            .
            .
        </body>
        </html>

Typically the information is displayed in italics and may be indented. This tag is set up to help the automated document tools so they may locate specific types of information.

HTML 3.0 Draft

Adds most of the attributes associated with a block type element.

Attributes common to almost all of the block style tags include CLEAR and NOWRAP.

CLEAR: Used to specify the vertical positioning of a block element. This lets you start a block below a figure or table, or next to it if there is a certain amount of space for your text. You can specify left, right or all to indicate that you want the left margin, right margin or both margins clear before you start displaying your text.
Instead of clearing the margins you can also tell the browser that if there is a certain amount of space next to a table or figure then it can display your text. You do this by putting in an amount of space in "en" units or in pixels. You would put a value such as "50 en" for 50 "en" spaces or "130 pixels" for 130 pixels.
NOWRAP: Used to tell the browser to not do automatic line breaks. This means your text displays on one long line unless you put in explicit line breaks using the tag.
An example of these attributes in use is:: <ADDRESS CLEAR="50 pixels" NOWRAP>
Address Line 1 
Address Line 2 
</ADDRESS>

Attributes common to almost all of the tags permitted in the document body include ID, LANG and CLASS. You probably won't be using any of these tags for a while but I've included them so you know they are coming.

ID: A name to be used as a target for links or for naming particular elements in a style sheet. These take the place of the HTML 2.0 <A NAME="somename">Some Name</A> construct that defines internal document links.
LANG: An ISO standard language abbreviation that defines language specific elements to be used.
CLASS: Used to assign a class name to a tag.
An example of these attributes in use is:: <ADDRESS ID="topicone" LANG="en-US" CLASS=section>
Address Line 1 
Address Line 2 
</ADDRESS>
