Headers and Paragraphs

To learn some of the fundamentals of HTML, I've started working through Kent Cearley's book HTML 4, published back in the earlier days of the Internet at the end of the last millennium. The book has been occupying the bookshelf since then, having been purchased at a time when it appeared I would be doing some web programming. That didn't happen; requirements analysis and business process re-engineering happened instead.

As this is a blog and not a purpose-built web site, I will also learn what HTML tags work in the context of Blogspot and what the idiosyncrasies are, such as the interpretation of structured (human-readable) code discovered in the previous post.

On to the first exercise, or more precisely, the fifth lesson in chapter 1. The blog template dictates how the headers (h1 - h3) display, but they do work, as does the paragraph tag.

[h1] The Sonata Form

[P] There are many variants on the structure of the sonata form. This example is just that, an example.

[h2] Exposition

[h3] First Subject

[P] The keyboard sonata of the classical era typically has the principle thematic material stated in the tonic key.

[P] The mood of the first subject is often motivic and forceful in nature.

[h3] Transition

[h3] Second Subject

[h3] Coda

[h2] Development

[h3] Dominant Key

[h3] Supertonic Key

[h3] Subdominant Minor Key

[h3] Subdominant Major Key

[h3] Supertonic Minor Key

[h3] Supertonic Major Key

[h3] Dominant Key

[h2] Recapitulation



The code, in a human-friendly form, is in the image below. I present it as an image so that it is not interpreted as code.
