Tags supported by wxHTML

wxHTML is not full implementation of HTML standard. Instead, it supports most common tags so that it is possible to display simple HTML documents with it. (For example it works fine with pages created in Netscape Composer or generated by tex2rtf).

Following tables list all tags known to wxHTML, together with supported parameters. A tag has general form of <tagname param_1 param_2 ... param_n> where param_i is either paramname="paramvalue" or paramname=paramvalue - these two are equivalent. Unless stated otherwise, wxHTML is case-insensitive.
