Not that I recommend using these on the WWW, but since you were
asking, play around with these:


    <COMMENT>Here is some text that <EM>lynx</EM> won't show.</COMMENT>

    <![INCLUDE[ Now you see me... ]]>

    <![IGNORE[ ... now you don't. ]]>

    <PRE>
    <![CDATA[
    And while we're at it, how about a construct for showing HTML
    markup literally without having to escape every '<' and '&':
    <p>
       &iexcl;Hola!
    </p>
    is rendered as
    ]]></PRE>
    <p>
       &iexcl;Hola!
    </p>


For more fun, figure out which of these constructs are valid HTML...
