Shown here are the raw source texts and contents (with titles simulated) of a sampling of HTML files spanning in time from November 26, 1992 through May 24, 1993, and which was the first version of HTML to be used for which a DTD can be prepared. This is a rather unknown and poorly documented HTML period, during which a few new tags were introduced, and some changed. This period represents the last time that the NeXT Editor as prepared and used by Tim Berners-Lee and the DTD's being worked on by Dan Connolly would be out of sync. In the next step, which is HTML 1, the two would finally converge as a single standard. But in the mean time, many files would be generated in the following form:
Announcement_00 -- FineWWW - Windows Internet Explorer
I just put my tty-based browser up for ftp. This is a Beta release (I guess I'll find out just how beta it is :-). It's written in perl, so you may also need to pick up perl.
You can get the browser via ftp from archive.cis.ohio-state.edu, in pub/w3browser/w3browser-0.1.shar.
It's a shar file, so unpack with
sh w3browser-0.1.shar
and it will create files in your current directory.
I've included my own version of termcap.pl (normally a standard perl distribution file, I think), because I found a bug in ours. I'll check after thanksgiving to see if there's a more recent version with an official bug fix.
Use, enjoy, comment, and flame.

This is the oldest of the files written to this next version of HTML, using the
next version of the NeXT Editor. This file also is the oldest instance of the
& and < entities being used not for
demonstration purposes but for real, and also marks the first appearence of the
<PRE> tag, even predating Dan Connolly's documentation regarding
the <TYPEWRITER> tag!

Here is yet another use of the exciting new tag, <PRE>. Note
how only the opening bracket was turned into an entity; the closing tag seems to be
OK being left raw (though I have fixed it).
Policy -- /WWW - Windows Internet Explorer
This outlines the policy of the W3 project at CERN. Whilst not legally binding, this attempts to explain my understanding of the CERN rules and the desires of the team at CERN.
The basic aim of the project is to promote communication and information availability for the High Energy Physics (HEP) community. The project is based at CERN, whose budget is provided by contributions of taxpayer's money from the European member states. It is in the interests of HEP, CERN, and the project itself that it should interwork with systems and information in many other fields, and so active collaboration with other groups is essential. To produce an information system isolating HEP from the rest of the world would be counter-productive, so the aim can be seen as furthering a global web of information.
The WWW team are all enthusiastic that information of all types should be available as widely as possible.
We encourage collaboration by academic or commercial parties. There are always many things to be done, ports to be made to different environments, new browsers to be written, and additional data to be incorporated into the "web". There have already been many contributions in these terms, and also with hardware support from manufacturers.
If you may be interested in extending the web or the software, please mail or phone us.
Code written at CERN is covered by the CERN copyright. In practice the interpretation of this in the case of the W3 project is that the programs are freely available to academic bodies. To commercial organizations who are not reselling it, but are using it to participate in global information exchange, the charge is generally waived in order to cut administrative costs. Code is of course shared freely with all collaborators. Commercial organizations wishing to sell software based on W3 code should contact CERN.
We are in the process of getting agreement to release certain parts of the WWW project code with the General Public License (and GP Library License).
Where CERN code is included in otherwise public domain code, that CERN code becomes also public domain.
Code not originating at CERN is of course covered by terms set by the copyright holder involved.
The definition of protocols such as HTTP and data formats such as HTML are in the public domain and may be freely used by anyone.

Notice how in this new version all links have a NAME number assigned by NeXT and
how <NEXTID> now has an attribute N with a value of 4.
From the very beginning of this version of HTML the N attribute has surrounded the
value with quotes, even though the NAME attributes still keep the value raw.

The very first two HTML files ever generated were the main page for the
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research located in Switzerland,
and the main "The Project" page for the development of the internet
and of HTML. Unfortunately, both of these files have been significantly
modifed and as such no longer exist in their original forms. As one can
see the CERN main page has
been kept quite up to date and as such none of the original information or
HTML formatting can be identified. "The Project" file however was
last modified in this current period under discussion and as such still
has all the <HEADER> and other characteristics of files
from this period.

How to Apply the GPLL to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

This file shows that when there are no links in the file (and never were)
the <NEXTID> tag is still omitted. It also shows an example
of only using the character entity for open bracket so as to avoid triggering
a start-tag-open which would not be a valid HTML tag, but the closing bracket
is simply included in the file as is.

HyperText Mark-up Language
The WWW system uses marked-up text to represent a hypertext document for transmision over the network. The hypertext mark-up language is an SGML format. WWW parsers should ignore tags which they do not understand, and ignore attributes which they do not understand of tags which they do understand.
To find out how to write HTML, or to write a program to generate it, read the following sections:-

Though this file also belongs to this period, it was opened for some minor
modification in 1999 without changing the sort of HTML which was actually used
in the file. This is the main file for the HTML development descriptions which
are themselves in the previous version of HTML. One can also see that the
link to the Dan Connolly discussion for future directions was added to this
page early in the HTML 1 phase, from the z28 name for the link but
a simple N="29" for the <NEXTID> tag.
