+You can use just about any HTML tag without a problem - however, there are a few usability and technical considerations to keep in mind.

+### <a name="HTML_and_TWiki_Usability"> </a> HTML and TWiki Usability
* On collaboration pages, it's preferable NOT to use HTML, and to use TWiki shorthand instead - this keeps the text uncluttered and easy to edit.
- * **_NOTE:_** TWiki converts shorthand notation to XHTML 1.0 for display. To copy a fully marked-up page, simply view source in your browser and save the contents.
- * **_NOTE:_** The standard installation TWiki is compatible across a wide range of browsers and computer platforms. If this is important to you, remember that using browser-specific tags or any other mark-up that doesn't degrade well will reduce compatibility.
+* %X% **NOTE:** TWiki is designed to work with a wide range of browsers and computer platforms, holding to HTML 3.2 compatibility in the standard installation - adding raw HTML, particularly browser-specific tags (or any other mark-up that doesn't degrade well) will reduce compatibility.

+### <a name="TWiki_HTML_Rendering"> </a> TWiki HTML Rendering
+
+* TWiki converts shorthand notation to XHTML 1.0 for display. To copy a fully marked-up page, simply view source in your browser and save the contents.
+ * %T% If you need to save HTML frequently, you may want to check out TWiki:Plugins/GenHTMLAddon - it will "generate a directory containing rendered versions of a set of TWiki pages together with any attached files."
+* %X% **NOTE:** The opening and closing angle brackets - <code>**&lt;...&gt;**</code> - of an HTML tag **_must be on the same line_**, or the tag will be broken.
+ * This feature allows you to enter an unclosed angle bracket - as a greater than or less than symbol - and have it automatically rendered as if you had entered its HTML character, `&lt;`, ex: <code>**a &gt; b**</code>
+ * %T% If you're pasting in preformatted HTML text and notice problems, check the file in a text processor with no text wrap. Also, save without hard line breaks on text wrap, in your HTML editing program.
