<PLAINTEXT>...</PLAINTEXT>

Description

All HTML elements inside this container are ignored by the browser, and shown as they were only text.

Netscape Navigator is very strict in interpreting this element, even the closing element is missed! This means that every HTML element after the opening element is ignored and everything after the opening PLAINTEXT element is treated as normal text. As a result the example to this element will be invisible in Netscape Navigator. The example is enclosed in a table and the PLAINTEXT causes Navigator to ignore the closing TD, TR and TABLE elements... and as a result the whole table is invisible.

Note: This element is no longer supported by the current HTML standard (4.0). You should use the PRE element instead.
