Can anyone explain this HTML code to me?

[James Flanagan]

I am using FP 5.7 on FreeBSD 9.

ok, I am getting closer.  

My first mistake is that I never use the edit processing function except to check syntax.  I use vi, and that explains that the extra colons are ^a and are not literal ":" in vi.  

the next issue might be that I am trying to use the code in input processing.  is the html functionality only useable in output processing?  if so, i did not gather that from the manual.  thank you very much,
