::::: This is an example of an open HTML tag: {{bcode|1=<font color=maroon>This is maroon. <font color=black>This is black.}} This is incorrectly done; the {{bcode|<font>}} tags should be closed with a {{bcode|</font>}}. In fact, the page uses the tag correctly most of the time, but wherever {{bcode|1=<font color=black>}} is used in the code, it is used incorrectly like in my example, which is causing the page to appear a bit differently depending on the browser. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Gary King|<font color="#02b">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></font>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Gary King|<font color="#02e">talk</font>]])</font> 09:27, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

*Oh Gary, beyond the call of duty. Thank you '''so much'''. It looks like a truckload of work, and your explanation here was very helpful. After 4 March, when my work-hell ends, I'm going through your changes to learn; then, I'll apply them to my other tutorial pages. I owe you!

:: Okay, the entire page should be converted. The page loads much faster now than before; previously, the page took longer to load because of all the open HTML tags. At the end of the page, the browser had about 80 open tags; think about it like having 80 open applications on your computer. It slows down the computer. Closing the tag is like closing an application, allowing the computer to do something else. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Gary King|<font color="#02b">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></font>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Gary King|<font color="#02e">talk</font>]])</font> 20:26, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
