It requires the use of HTML.

An example of an XML script is below:

Hi Steph, thanks so much for this the information is invaluable. There are a couple of other terms I see being mentioned but am unsure what they are - backlinks and meta bar. Would you be able to explain these for me please?
Thanks! Stacey

I could do that. Thank you for the heads up. It is hard to remember all of them when first getting it started. I am hoping more people will contribute add'l words for me to add so the list can grow. :)

I will add backlinks and metadata.

Posts displayed look like html? I'm kinda lost here, my friend.

I noticed that too and when I first published this resource there was much more of those special characters. It is not HTML. HTML looks like <html> ....<head>...</head>....<body>...</body>...</html>

These are some special characterization and I do not know what is causing them. I have to go and edit them individually.
