- Structure Module
Structure Module includes html, head, title and body elements.
_html specifies the xml namespace and language. html_ specifies the end of xhtml. For example,

html_
_head command specifies the human readable and machine readable head information of an XHTML document. The _title command must appear inside the _head content. Other commands are optional. For example,
_head

A browser will display the value of the title attribute such as title='Document' on the title bar. Typically, 'title' attribute is used as a tooltip of a command.

__meta command sets machine readable information. Its 'name' attribute defines the property name; 'content' attribute defines the property value; 'scheme' attribute interprets the property value; 'lang' attribute specifies the language; and 'http-equiv' attribute provides HTTP server information for response header.
__meta "name='author' content='David Robert' scheme='ISBN Author'"
__meta "http-equiv='Expires' content='Fri, 25 Dec 1998'"
http-equiv may be used to wait seconds and refresh to another page. Following example waiting 2 seconds and switch to new URL in content.
__meta "http-equiv='refresh' content='2, http://www.neatware.com'"
