HTML Primer for STLIMC

HTML Primer for STLIMC This is a quick summary on how to compose 'pages' on the new STLIMC website, with simple, consistent protocols for preparing uploads.

The concept: Raw Text entries don't look very good, and full HTML docs are complex, cumbersome, and slow. An intermediate "Mark-up" (pseudo-html) format uses a simplified HTML code that allows some basic enhancements without bogging down the writing & loading.
