Tasks:
----------------------------

  There will be a series three checkpoint assignments based on the material covered 
  in HTML. These assignments will be cumulative and based on checkpoints at given times. 

  As there is a fair amount of material, be extra careful not to get behind. Much of 
  the material, in some way or another, builds on itself. It is very important that 
  you attempt to stay current.

  During each of the checkpoint intervals, there will be partial lab time that can be 
  used to work on the assignments and ask questions. This will give you a chance to 
  work through some details with assistance. As there is not enough class or lab time 
  available, it is highly recommended that time outside of class be used to work 
  on the assignments.

  You will be marked on completeness, correctness, and use of design elements.

  This checkpoint assignment will be an online manual. Design a series of web page(s)
  which outlines the tags which are covered in tutorials 1 and 2 of the New Perspectives
  manual on HTML. Omitting tags covered in these chapters will result in lost marks. 

  Include in the manual the command, a description or the command, the syntax of the 
  command, examples of using the command, the output of the command, and any details 
  that you feel are necessary. Commands should be grouped under logical headings and 
  subheadings.

  You should begin by creating a single page that outlines the tags that you want to 
  cover. Once you have developed the material, you will want to break the HTML document 
  into a number of smaller pages. These pages could be grouped by major topic such as 
  "HTML tags structure", "Character Attributes", and "Linking". A table of contents 
  should be included which not only groups the tags you have learned, but also provides 
  hyperlinks to the relevant documents. Pages should provide a link back to the table 
  of contents.

  Remember to include examples of the commands. You will want to utilize the <CODE> 
  tag in order to demonstrate HTML codes (you could also use the font tag.) You will 
  also want to make use of some of the extended characters for displaying the "<" and 
  the ">" characters when demonstrating the codes.
