Notes
• The HTML 3.2 specification supports only the
name
and
value
attributes for this
element.
• As an empty element under XHTML or when using XML-style syntax for HTML5, a
trailing slash is required for this element:
<param />
.
<plaintext> (Plain Text)
This deprecated element from the HTML 2.0 specification renders the enclosed text as plain
text and forces the browser to ignore any enclosed HTML. Typically, information affected by
the
<plaintext>
tag is rendered in monospaced font. This element is no longer part of the
HTML standard and should never be used.
Syntax (HTML 2; Deprecated Under HTML 4)

Example
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html>
<head><title>
Plaintext Example
</title></head>
<body>
The rest of this file is in plain text.
<plaintext>
Even though this is supposed to be
<b>
bold
</b>,
the tags still show.
There is no way to turn plain text off once it is on.
</plaintext>
does nothing to help. Even
</body>
and
</html>
will show up.
