As to "what it means" I'll put three little snippets here:
    
    
    A Simple HTML Example
    
    
    HTML is Easy To Learn
    Welcome to the world of HTML.
    This is the first paragraph. While short it is
    still a paragraph!
    And this is the second paragraph.
    
    
The first part is a condensed "document" that illustrates HTML. HTML is 
nothing but ascii with the appropriate "tokens" that make the hyper text 
appear in a browser. If one thinks about OEC/MECCA anyone here already 
understands the concept.........
And graphics can be displayed via HTML:
    Inline Images
Most Web browsers can display inline images (that is, images next to text)
that are in X Bitmap (XBM), GIF, or JPEG format. Other image formats are
being incorporated into Web browsers [e.g., the Portable Network Graphic
(PNG) format]. Each image takes time to process and slows down the initial
display of a document. Carefully select your images and the number of
images in a document.

     Embed a graphic image in the document. Attributes:
     src
          Specifies the location of the image.
     alt
          Allows a text string to be put in place of the image in clients
          that cannot display images.
     align
          Specify a relationship to surrounding text. The argument for
          align can be one of top, middle, or bottom.
     ismap
          If ismap is present and the image tag is within an anchor, the
          image will become a "clickable image". The pixel coordinates of
Soooooooooo...... what I want is the ability to use HTML in a future release 
of opus..... in a product that bridges both the internet and a bbs (allows 
both kinds of callers, or with an "interface" knows how to use  HTML to a BBS caller.
