Comparison of Four Treatments for Patients with Severe Knee Cartilage Damage (176 KB) or a version with thumbnail graphics (65 KB)
I wrote this paper for Engineering Professional Development (EPD) 397 during the Fall 2000 semester. My professor was impressed with my work and asked me to submit it for consideration in the Undergraduate Engineering Review, an on-line journal for undergraduate students in technical communication at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.

I wrote it in Word 2000 and I decided that it would be a good challenge for web mark-up. This was my first attempt at coding HTML; it has a bit of everything: formatting, hyperlinks, figures, a table, etc. I decided to use cascading style sheets for formatting (as I used strict-level HTML 4.0) so this may not look wonderful in version 4 or lower browsers. So far, I think this “paper” looks best with Opera 5.

Cascading Style Sheets Tags and Descriptions (21 KB)
To help me remember my CSS and provide a quick reference, I set up a table covering various CSS tags and attributes. As a bonus, I also have become pretty good at composing HTML tables. Unfortunately, the table is not always easy to read.

I have also broken the web page up into three separate pages:

CSS Font Tags (9 KB)
Provides information about formatting fonts with style sheets.
CSS Box Tags (6 KB)
Every element (including paragraphs and images) is actually in a box of sorts. One can play with this box to add borders and margins.
CSS Backgrounds and Classification (7 KB)
Because elements are in boxes, one can easily add background colors and images. Classifying changes how elements are seen. (Finally, using CSS one can easily use images for bullets.)
