Worksheet

If you want to design the answers to the questions on a worksheet suitable for presentation on the web, you should know at least some of the possibilities provided by the language HTML. This page gives answers to a few questions that may arise. Read the answers to the questions and represent the page by clicking one of the buttons "Plain text" or "HTML" below in order to see the action caused by the HTML commands. If you don't want to use HTML at all, only the first three questions are relevant for you.

To some extent you can. Powers are written as xn, indices as 
an. This makes expressions like
f(x) = x3 (x2 + x - 1) and
an = 1/n2 possible. 
The NOBR tag prevents a formula from being broken in two lines by the browser.

In case you want to represent you sheet as "HTML" but switch off
the automatic HTML formatting, you may use the PRE command (with
a correction of the font type, as the following example shows):

When you are ready to do some trial and error, you may include
powers and special symbols and use, if you like, the overall
font type of this page:

For formulae containing special symbols such as

you may use the
<A HREF="../../formeln.html" TARGET="_blank">maths online HTML formula tool</A>.
(The TARGET command in the code for this link tells the browser to open
the desired document in a new window).

Yes. You can proceed in two ways:

Method 1: Insert the full web addres of a graphics file into
SRC="..." (source), irrespective of whether it is located at your server
or somewhere else.

Method 2: If a graphics file (which you may have generated or
donwloaded from the web) is located at your computer, you may insert
its path (relative to the directory in which you want to save the
worksheet) into SRC="...". However, afterwards you must change the
HTML code of the sheet: Just use a text editor to erase the first
line, containing the command BASE.

The ALIGN command provides several ways to place images relative to the
text. HSPACE and VSPACE are responsible for the horizontal and vertical
space between the image and the text.
A thumb rule: The more sophisticated your worksheet shall be
designed (e.g. with regards to image positions or later corrections),
the greater the possibility that an operation at the level of its HTML
code is reasonable. In case this is necessary, just ignore everything
except for the pieces of text you have inserted by yourself, which you
easily find within the code when using a text editor.

When you are ready, you may fill in your name(s), or group name. (In case several names should appear below each other, they have to be separated by the symbol ). Then click the appropriate button (depending on whether you have inserted plain text or HTML code).This will open a new browser window containing your sheet as a web page, suitable for being saved or printed.
