NOTE)The NOTE element was an example of HTML 3.0's failed
attempt to get more content-based elements into use, rather than
presentational elements like BLINK. NOTE is used
to mark really important things that you don't want your readers to
miss.
Permitted Context: %body.content, %flow, %block
Content Model: %body.content
The NOTE element is designed for use as admonishments such as notes,
cautions or warnings, as commonly used in technical documentation.
The CLASS attribute specifies the type of the element and is
typically associated with different graphics such as a road traffic
warning sign. The graphic can be customized with the SRC attribute.
Example:
<NOTE CLASS=WARNING>Please check with the local weather
service before starting your climb. The mountain weather
is subject to rapid deterioration. It is essential to
carry a good map and compass.</NOTE>
The class names: NOTE, CAUTION and WARNING are recommended for
standard admonishments. In the absence of the CLASS attribute, a
NOTE element is typically rendered indented, without an accompanying
graphic.
Level 2 HTML browsers do not recognize NOTE as a block-like
element; such browsers won't properly contain the text, allowing it to
slide into nearby paragraphs.
Just make sure that a P is nested inside the NOTE to
contain text for Level 2 browsers. There's still no way to ensure that
readers of Level 2 browsers will notice the importance of notes, but you
can always make the text italic, boldfaced, blinking, etc.
Early drafts of the HTML 3.0 specification allowed a
CLASS=FOOTNOTE, in lieu of an independent FOOTNOTE element. Do not use
CLASS=FOOTNOTE -- nobody supports that except Emacs/W3.
NOTE has not been included in any version of HTML since
HTML 3.0. If you want your readers to notice something important, you're on
your own.
