hi julian

tips are required only if the post is "off topic"

you do not need to include a tip when asking a question about css, for
example

cross-posting, however, is a big no-no


meta posts (posts about posting) are in a grey area, but i usually throw
one in anyway


<tip type="html tag definitions">

the explanations are comprehensive and easy to understand, and each has
links at the bottom to the relevant w3c page
