icon. If your browser does not
show images properly, it may be useful to know, that this icon will always be the first icon in the row of icons at the top and the bottom of each page. At the
bottom of each page you will also find a link to this page labelled HELP.
The second way to get more information is the Info page. It provides you with
information of a little more technical interest, like how to download a
specific file or to contact the authors. You can reach that page by clicking
the 
icon. Again, if your browser does not show
images properly, it may be useful to know, that this icon will always be the
second icon in the row of icons at the top and the bottom of each page.
Also, at the bottom of each page you will also find a link to this page
labeled Info.
If you need further help you may ask your friendly local hacker, the grad-student on duty, or your system administrator. You may also contact the authors of these pages, who will try to furnish you the information you need.
The first one is the limited number of layout instructions. This allows the author only to determine the very general aspect of the layout (for example, declaring something a header or a paragraph.) The appearance of the document on the reader's screen or paper is determined by the hard and software s/he uses. Most browsers allow the user to define the fonts and colors to use for different text elements, so the reader can adjust the display to his convenience.
The second and most enjoyable feature of HTML is the ability to include links (hyperlinks) to other locations and documents. Certain elements of a document can represent a link. Those elements will be marked on your browser like this. Depending on your browser the word "this" may be spelled out bold or in italics, it may be underlined or surrounded with a box or it may be written in a different color or on a colored background. Sometimes the cursor of the pointing device (mouse or trackball) changes its aspect when moved to such a link. Activating that link, for example by clicking the mouse button, when the cursor is on the link element, will load and display the document, which was linked to the element. (Well, of course only if the document is available and the network works.) Try the contents list at the top of this page! Click it - get it.
The third important feature is, that other data can be included into a document. For the moment that works well only with graphics (look at all those neat buttons.) Other "multimedia" features (movies and sound tracks) will probably be added to the language pretty soon. Then we can offer you a guided tour through our laboratory. The only thing you will be missing is the smell of solvents. For the moment data other than images and text (HTML) have to be transferred as independant documents, but this still only requires using the click and get game. The Molecular Dynamics News Letter is available in a variety of formats other then HTML. See the section 'Viewing and Downloading Files' in the Info page for details.
