A kayak gets you up close and personal with the Santa Barbara Harbor area. Head on out to the Sand Spit, circle the sea-lions sunbathing on the buoys, or check out the famous Santa Barbara Wharf. The scenery changes, every day, and with concierge service, you’ll paddle and play in style. Choose from group or private guided tours, or head out on your own and explore the beautiful hidden sights of the Santa Barbara coastline.

Basic block level elements

This is a normal paragraph (p element).
To add some length to it, let us mention that this page was
primarily written for testing the effect of user style sheets.
You can use it for various other purposes as well, like just checking how
your browser displays various HTML elements by default.
It can also be useful when testing conversions from HTML
format to other formats, since some elements can go wrong then.

This is another paragraph. I think it needs to be added that
the set of elements tested is not exhaustive in any sense. I have selected
those elements for which it can make sense to write user style sheet rules,
in my opionion.

This is a div element. Authors may use such elements instead
of paragraph markup for various reasons. (End of div.)

This is a block quotation containing a single
paragraph. Well, not quite, since this is not really
quoted text, but I hope you understand the point. After all, this
page does not use HTML markup very normally anyway.

The following contains address information about the author, in an address
element.

Lists

This is a paragraph before an unnumbered list (ul). Note that
the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard
to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are
logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".

  • One.
  • Two.
  • Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that
    for short items lists look better if they are compactly presented,
    whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.
  • Four. This is the last item in this list.
    Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.

The following is a menu list:

  • One.
  • Two.
  • Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer so that it will
    probably wrap to the next line in rendering.
  • The following is a dir list:

     

    • One.
    • Two.
    • Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer so that it will
      probably wrap to the next line in rendering.

      This is a paragraph before a definition list (dl).
      In principle, such a list should consist of terms and associated
      definitions.
      But many authors use dl elements for fancy "layout" things. Usually the
      effect is not too bad, if you design user style sheet rules for dl
      which are suitable
      for real definition lists.

      term
      a word or other expression taken into specific use in
      a well-defined meaning, which is often defined rather rigorously, even
      formally, and may differ quite a lot from an everyday meaning

      Text-level markup

      • CSS (an abbreviation;
        abbr markup used)
      • radar (an acronym; acronym markup used)
      • bolded (b markup used - just bolding with unspecified
        semantics)
      • big thing (big markup used)
      • large size (font size=6 markup used)
      • Courier font (font face=Courier markup used)
      • red text (font color=red markup used)
      • Origin of Species (a book title;
        cite markup used)
      • a[i] = b[i] + c[i); (computer code; code markup used)
      • here we have some deleted text (del markup used)
      • an octet is an entity consisting of eight bits
        (dfn markup used for the term being defined)
      • this is very simple (em markup used for emphasizing
        a word)
      • Homo sapiens (should appear in italics; i markup used)
      • here we have some inserted text (ins markup used)
      • type yes when prompted for an answer (kbd markup
        used for text indicating keyboard input)
      • Hello! (q markup used for quotation)
      • He said: She said Hello! (a quotation inside a quotation)
      • you may get the message Core dumped at times
        (samp markup used for sample output)
      • this is not that important (small markup used)
      • overstruck (strike markup used; note:
        s is a nonstandard synonym for strike)
      • this is highlighted text (strong
        markup used)
      • In order to test how subscripts and superscripts (sub and
        sup markup) work inside running text, we need some
        dummy text around constructs like x1 and H2O
        (where subscripts occur). So here is some fill so that
        you will (hopefully) see whether and how badly the subscripts
        and superscripts mess up vertical spacing between lines.
        Now superscripts: Mlle, 1st, and then some
        mathematical notations: ex, sin2 x,
        and some nested superscripts (exponents) too:
        ex2 and f(x)g(x)a+b+c
        (where 2 and a+b+c should appear as exponents of exponents).
      • text in monospace font (tt markup used)
      • underlined text (u markup used)
      • the command cat filename displays the
        file specified by the filename (var markup
        used to indicate a word as a variable).

      Some of the elements tested above are typically displayed in a monospace
      font, often using the same presentation for all of them. This
      tests whether that is the case on your browser:

      • This is sample text inside code markup
      • This is sample text inside kbd markup
      • This is sample text inside samp markup
      • This is sample text inside tt markup

      Links

      This is a text paragraph that contains some
      inline links. Generally, inline links (as opposite to e.g. links
      lists) are problematic
      from the
      usability perspective,
      but they may have use as
      “incidental”, less relevant links. See the document
      Links Want To Be Links.

      Forms


      This is a form containing various fields (with some initial
      values (defaults) set, so that you can see how input text looks
      like without actually typing it):

      The following two radio buttons are inside
      a fieldset element with a legend:
      Legend
      Check those that apply

      Tables

      The following table has a caption. The first row and the first column
      contain table header cells (th elements) only; other cells
      are data cells (td elements), with align="right"
      attributes:

      Sample table: Areas of the Nordic countries, in sq km
      Country Total area Land area
      Denmark 43,070 42,370
      Finland 337,030 305,470
      Iceland 103,000 100,250
      Norway 324,220 307,860
      Sweden 449,964 410,928

      Hyphenation

      In the following, a width setting should cause some hyphenation,
      depending on support to various methods of hyphenation.

      CSS-based hyphenation

      Until recently the great majority of naturalists believed that species were immutable productions, and had been separately created. This view has been ably maintained by many authors.

      JavaScript-driven hyphenation

      Until recently the great majority of naturalists believed that species were immutable productions, and had been separately created. This view has been ably maintained by many authors.

      Explicit hyphenation hints (soft hyphens)

      Un­til re­cent­ly the great
      ma­jor­i­ty of nat­u­ral­ists
      be­lieved that spe­cies were
      im­mu­ta­ble
      pro­duc­tions,
      and had been sep­a­rate­ly cre­at­ed.
      This view has been ably main­tain­ed by many au­thors.
