<note> container start tag required end tag required Sandia Reference

Note: This is an old tag. The attributes have different meanings from the current (Aug '97) release of HTML.

The note element is used for admonishments, but can also be used whenever you want an image next to indented text. The image is optional and controlled by the ROLE attribute. You can supply an image of your own with the SRC attribute.

"the NOTE element is designed for use as admonishments such as notes, cautions or warnings, as commonly used in technical documentation. The CLASS attribute specifies the type of the element and is typically associated with different graphics such as a road traffic warning sign. THe graphic can be customized with the SRC attribute." (w3)

I have yet to find a browser that handles this tag. Any Suggestions?

HTML+, in their specifications, provided the following graphic as an example of the use of <note>:

class= + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0		The "class=" attribute, in this instance specifies the level of admonishment.
	"NOTE"	one of the class names recommended for standard admonishments.
	"CAUTION"	one of the class names recommended for standard admonishments
	"WARNING"	one of the class names recommended for standard admonishments
clear= + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0		"When there is already a figure or table in the margin, you sometimes want to position another figure below the figure in the margin rather than alongside it. The CLEAR attribute allows you to move down unconditionally:" (w3) Alternatively, you can decide to place the figure alongside the figure in the margin just so long as there is enough room. The minimum width needed is specified as "## en" where ##="the" number of nutts or ### pixels where ### is the number of pixels.
	"left" + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0	"move down until left margin is clear" (w3)
	"right" + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0	"move down until right margin is clear" (w3)
	"all" + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0	"move down until both margins are clear" (w3)
	"## en" + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0	"move down until there is at least 40 en units free" (w3)
	"### pixels" + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0	"move down until there is at least 100 pixels free" (w3)
id= + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0		This may have been added in a later specification but no current specification exists for this tag.
index= + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0
lang= + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0		This may have been added in a later specification but no current specification exists for this tag.
md= + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0		This attribute specifies the message digest or chyptographic checksum (MD5 in base 64). The MD attribute is generally allowed for all elements which support URI based links.
role= + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0		The role attribute comes out of HTML+. It defines the "role" of the note. "The text of the ROLE attribute (if given) is inserted at the start of the note in a bold font and followed by a colon. Typical roles are TIP, NOTE, WARNING and ERROR. The SRC attribute may be used to name a URL or URN as an icon which is displayed in the left margin at the start of the note. An upright hand icon is often used for tips; a warning road sign for warnings and a stop sign for errors. Horizontal rules are drawn automatically to help readers distinguish the note from the surrounding text. You can place horizontal rules in other parts of your document using the <HR> element which can appear anywhere a <P> element is allowed." (HTML+)
	"tip" + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0
	"note" + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0
	"warning" + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0
	"error" + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0
src= + 2.0 3.0 3.2 4.0		this specifies the source of the picture. It takes the "URL" argument. "The text of the ROLE attribute (if given) is inserted at the start of the note in a bold font and followed by a colon. Typical roles are TIP, NOTE, WARNING and ERROR. The SRC attribute may be used to name a URL or URN as an icon which is displayed in the left margin at the start of the note. An upright hand icon is often used for tips; a warning road sign for warnings and a stop sign for errors. Horizontal rules are drawn automatically to help readers distinguish the note from the surrounding text. You can place horizontal rules in other parts of your document using the <HR> element which can appear anywhere a <P> element is allowed." (HTML+) I could not find "standard" icons for "tip" or "note".
