This is a normal paragraph (p
element).
To add some length to it, let us mention that this page was
primarily written for testing the effect of user style sheets.
You can use it for various other purposes as well, like just checking how
your browser displays various HTML elements by default.
It can also be useful when testing conversions from HTML
format to other formats, since some elements can go wrong then.
This is another paragraph. I think it needs to be added that the set of elements tested is not exhaustive in any sense. I have selected those elements for which it can make sense to write user style sheet rules, in my opionion.
div
element. Authors may use such elements instead
of paragraph markup for various reasons. (End of div
.)This is a block quotation containing a single paragraph. Well, not quite, since this is not really quoted text, but I hope you understand the point. After all, this page does not use HTML markup very normally anyway.
The following contains address information about the author, in an address
element.
This is a paragraph before an unnumbered list (ul
). Note that
the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard
to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are
logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".

This is a paragraph before a definition list (dl
).
In principle, such a list should consist of terms and associated
definitions.
But many authors use dl
elements for fancy "layout" things. Usually the
effect is not too bad, if you design user style sheet rules for dl
which are suitable
for real definition lists.

markup) work inside running text, we need some
dummy text around constructs like x1 and H2O
(where subscripts occur). So here is some fill so that
you will (hopefully) see whether and how badly the subscripts
and superscripts mess up vertical spacing between lines.
Now superscripts: Mlle, 1st, and then some
mathematical notations: ex, sin2 x,
and some nested superscripts (exponents) too:
ex2 and f(x)g(x)a+b+c
(where 2 and a+b+c should appear as exponents of exponents).

Some of the elements tested above are typically displayed in a monospace font, often using the same presentation for all of them. This tests whether that is the case on your browser:

This is a text paragraph that contains some inline links. Generally, inline links (as opposite to e.g. links lists) are problematic from the usability perspective, but they may have use as “incidental”, less relevant links. See the document Links Want To Be Links.
The following table has a caption. The first row and the first column
contain table header cells (th
elements) only; other cells
are data cells (td
elements), with align="right"
attributes:
Country | Total area | Land area |
---|---|---|
Denmark | 43,070 | 42,370 |
Finland | 337,030 | 305,470 |
Iceland | 103,000 | 100,250 |
Norway | 324,220 | 307,860 |
Sweden | 449,964 | 410,928 |
The following table has some sample characters with annotations. If the browser’s default font does not contain all of them, they may get displayed using backup fonts. This may cause stylistic differences, but it should not prevent the characters from being displayed at all.
Char. | Explanation | Notes |
---|---|---|
ê | e with circumflex | Latin 1 character, should be ok |
— | em dash | Windows Latin 1 character, should be ok, too |
Ā | A with macron (line above) | Latin Extended-A character, not present in all fonts |
Ω | capital omega | A Greek letter |
− | minus sign | Unicode minus |
⌀ | diameter sign | relatively rare in fonts |
In the following, a width setting should cause some hyphenation, depending on support to various methods of hyphenation.
