Try entering the following 3 lines:

<p>
Here's some text.
Here's some more. This <b>word</b> is in Bold, nothing else is.

Then save as "mydoc.html", Quit, then double-click mydoc.

When I double click an .html file on my computer it opens Taco html editor by default, and I have it configured to show me the raw html. So when I double click your example I see exactly what I typed. A raw text version of an html document - no formatting

(Well except for the colors that taco adds to html tags)

@ rnickerson
Yes of course, the generic model is plain text with markup (as opposed to some binary form like MS Word). That post wasn't aimed at you, or anyone with a reasonably general level of ICT knowledge. It was aimed at dknightd as I tried indicate. I didn't "need to understand" what I've known for decades. Grandmothers & sucking eggs?

OK, I reckon this thread is beaten to death now.
