The Web pages created by mtx2html have been checked for compatibility with HTML 2.0 and 3.2. You should limit the use of advanced (non 2.0) features if you want to keep your Web pages "generic" and available to the widest possible audience.Use eight character file names for MSDOS and ISO CD-ROM compatibility. Most standard file extensions are already three characters (.gif, .jpg, etc.). The "l" in html will be automatically ignored in most cases.
Avoid mixed case in URLs. Lower case is preferred for readability. URLs on certain (UNIX) servers are case sensitive and will not work unless the case exactly matches.
Use relative URLs for portability. A properly configured suite of pages linked with relative URLs can be moved from one location to another with a minimum of reconfiguration.
Use HTML extensions sparingly. Certain elements, such as the center tag, are relatively silent when viewed with a non-compatible browser. Other elements, such as tables, will be unintelligible. If you want your pages to be available to the widest possible audience, stick with version 2.0 HTML elements. Test your pages with as many different browsers as you can.
Provide alternate text for most images. Remember that your pages may be viewed in situations where graphics are not available. This is especially true for graphical menus.
Limit the size of graphic elements to less than 500 pixels wide. Many computer monitors have a resolution of 640x480. Eliminate the need to scroll your pages in two directions by limiting the width of your graphics.
Avoid using embedded QuickTime movies unless you confirm that your intended audience will be able to view them. QuickTime and the QuickTime Plug-In must be loaded before the movies will display properly.
