| When included on a web page, the tag would cause the browser to break | the page at the tag. This allows generation of formatted printed output | over the web. It would be especially useful to those of us doing | web-database development when we want to generate reports over the web. | Today's method is to do 2 dumps, one to an html file for the user's | browser, and another to another file format such as plain text with | embedded formfeeds, or rich text format, for the user to download and | print. Its also presentation and not content... why should such entities exist? Just for the note, since when are your form feeds the best? I hate every author who uses a "plain text" document format and embeds form feeds, thinking this is where my paper ends, so does every one elses... mine doesn't (mine is also 13 inches wide, is yours?)
