Here's an example: I've taken the penguin story and added color. The old commands are in blue, and the new ones are in green. All apologies to the colorblind. If you load this on your own computer, you'll need to download lokerz.jpg, paper.gif and bignote.GIF.

Deep in the heart of <a href="http://163.248.225.3/"> Midvale Middle School </a> lies a <i>chilling</i> secret. A living, breathing creature skulks around the halls at night, waiting for a student to be caught alone, and without protection. Four seventh graders have turned up missing this year, with the only trace being scuffmarks on the floor. Each set of marks led to the same spot:

After the disappearance of the third child, a <a href="bignote.GIF" target=_blank> crumpled note </a> was found. It smelled strangely of fish and gym socks. The note read: </p>
<div align="center"> <hr width="200" color="blue" size="3">

Later that day, the principal made an announcement. He said,

<br>
<tt>
Students, we know that you have been shocked and saddened by the events of the day, but we urge you not to panic. We know that a <del> dangerous </del> suspicious character is in the building, but we <big> urge </big> you to remain calm. We caution you though to <u> stay out </u> of the school after dark.
