\ Tag

Purpose: The backslash (known as an escape Tag) is removed and <anytext is copied to the output. This feature can be used to escape a redefined HTML Tag.

For example, let's first redefine an HTML Tag to change what happens when heitml sees the Tag in a ".hei" page:

<defenv p><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <defbody;/defenv>

And now we'll show a sample of text using the redefined paragraph Tag, followed by the way it looks when heitml interprets it:

Example:

HTML text:
<p>This is a sample of text that has been created using a re-defined paragraph Tag.</p> <p> Note that new paragraphs do not skip a line, but the first line of the new paragraph is indented several spaces.</p>
As interpreted by heitml:
This is a sample of text that has been created using a re-defined paragraph Tag.       Note that new paragraphs do not skip a line, but the first line of the new paragraph is indented several spaces.

And now we are using the escape Tag <\p> to restore the original HTML functionality, followed by the way it looks when heitml interprets it:

Example:

HTML text:
<\p>This is a sample of text that has been created using a re-defined paragraph Tag.<\/p> <\p> Note that new paragraphs do not skip a line, but the first line of the new paragraph is indented several spaces.<\/p>
As interpreted by heitml:
This is a sample of text that has been created using a re-defined paragraph Tag. Note that new paragraphs do not skip a line, but the first line of the new paragraph is indented several spaces.
