However, putting style elements in each one of the boxes to be formatted can be time-consuming.</p> <div class="tip"> Tip: Using a style sheet helps. </div> <p>Adding a style sheet means you only have to do the formatting once. And to change the formatting on all the boxes you make only one change. This can save you much time. It can also make your web files smaller and easier to manage.</p> <div class="tip"> Tip: Using a different background color helps call attention to text. </div> </body> </html>

Marked-up manuscriptChapter One
A Mysterious Visitor It was a dark and stormy night. As was my custom on a Friday night, I was curled up in my favorite armchair reading Cataloging & Classification. All of a sudden, I heard a loud “Tap, tap, tap” on the window. Wondering what type of person would be out and about on such a stormy night, I went over, pulled aside the curtain, and peered out into the darkness.
