This didn't seem to fit anywhere else, but it is interesting to note.
One of the areas where books excel significantly over the web is in the editing of content. Frequently and very sadly, content will suffer online because no one with decent linguistic skills is available to check content and the people who convert text to HTML are often more interested in the look of a document than the actual text. Of course, much of the poetry I found has not been read by any editor because it has been put online by individuals. Most of the errors left in the online poetry were typographical errors or misuse of homonyms (here-hear, it's-its).
I chose HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) to write this essay in because it seemed most appropriate to write the essay in the same form that much of the subject matter is found in. Writing for HTML differs only slightly from regular text in that links are easy to form so that other related documents can be referred to and typically the text itself is less well-linked from subject to subject because different sections are divided up so that they could be taken seperately. I have not made excesssive use of hyperlinks, however, because this is to be typed out for marking purposes, and the links would not be workable in the same way for a printed (hard) copy. I have, however, divided the essay into smaller, modular and little-linking sections as is usually appropriate to HTML.
