Appendix D. The HTML 4.01 DTD
The HTML 4.01 standard is formally defined
as three SGML Document Type Definitions (DTDs): the
Strict DTD, the Transitional DTD, and the
Frameset DTD. The Strict DTD defines only those elements that are not
deprecated in the 4.0 standard.
Ideally, everyone would create HTML documents that conform to the
Strict DTD. The Transitional DTD includes all those deprecated
elements and more accurately reflects the HTML in use today, with
many older elements still in common use. The Frameset DTD is
identical to the Transitional DTD, with the exception that the
document <body> is replaced by the
<frameset> tag.
Since the Transitional DTD provides the broadest coverage of all HTML
elements currently in use, it is the DTD upon which this book is
based and the one we reproduce here. Note that we have reprinted this
DTD verbatim and have not attempted to add extensions to it. Where
our description and the DTD deviate, assume the DTD is correct.
<!--
This is the HTML 4.01 Transitional DTD, which includes
presentation attributes and elements that W3C expects to phase out
as support for style sheets matures. Authors should use the Strict
DTD when possible, but may use the Transitional DTD when support
for presentation attributes and elements is required.
HTML 4 includes mechanisms for style sheets, scripting,
embedding objects, improved support for right to left and mixed
direction text, and enhancements to forms for improved
accessibility for people with disabilities.

Further information about HTML 4.01 is available at:

The HTML 4.01 specification includes additional
syntactic constraints that cannot be expressed within
the DTDs.
-->
<!ENTITY % HTML.Version "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
-- Typical usage:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
The URI used as a system identifier with the public identifier allows
the user agent to download the DTD and entity sets as needed.
The FPI for the Strict HTML 4.01 DTD is:
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
This version of the strict DTD is:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/strict.dtd
Authors should use the Strict DTD unless they need the
presentation control for user agents that don't (adequately)
support style sheets.
If you are writing a document that includes frames, use
the following FPI:
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
This version of the frameset DTD is:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/frameset.dtd
Use the following (relative) URIs to refer to
the DTDs and entity definitions of this specification:
"strict.dtd"
"loose.dtd"
"frameset.dtd"
"HTMLlat1.ent"
"HTMLsymbol.ent"
"HTMLspecial.ent"

<!--======================= Tables =======================================-->
<!-- IETF HTML table standard, see [RFC1942] -->
<!--
The BORDER attribute sets the thickness of the frame around the
table. The default units are screen pixels.
The FRAME attribute specifies which parts of the frame around
the table should be rendered. The values are not the same as
CALS to avoid a name clash with the VALIGN attribute.
The value "border" is included for backwards compatibility with
<TABLE BORDER> which yields frame=border and border=implied
For <TABLE BORDER=1> you get border=1 and frame=implied. In this
case, it is appropriate to treat this as frame=border for backwards
compatibility with deployed browsers.
