C-HTML<Dazed_75> C-HTML (a.k.a. Compact HTML, CHTML, cHTML, and
i-mode-HTML) is a subset of standard HTML that was specifically
adapted for use with small, 'limited ability' electronic devices such
as mobile phones (older/earlier versions) and PDAs.<Dazed_75> Since
C-HTML is a stripped down version of standard HTML, it does not
include support for: tables, image maps, multiple fonts, styling of
fonts, background colors, background images, JPEG images, frames, and
style sheets. It is also limited to a monochromatic display.<Dazed_75>
C-HTML is 'set up' so that all basic interactive operations can be
done via a combination of four buttons.* scott_ev has quit (Quit:
WeeChat 0.3.8)<Dazed_75> That's it from AJ.  I hope everyone found
something of use in there.<toddcnb> Thank you Dazed_75 lots of good
