Markup Languages (HTML,DHTML,XML)
Developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, HTML is short for Hypertext Markup Language and is a language used to create electronic documents, especially pages on the World Wide Web that contain connections called hyperlinks to other pages. Every web page you see on the Internet, including this one contains HTML code that helps format and show text and images in an easy to read format. Without HTML a browser would not know how to format a page and would only display plain text with no formatting that contained no links. Below is an example of a basic web page in HTML code.

This is an example of a basic HTML page.

In the very basic above example are the key parts to every web page. The first DOCType line describes what encoding the page uses. For most pages, unless they are using XML this line will work. Next, the HTML tag begins letting the browser know that HTML code is being used until it is terminated at the end of the page. Next, the head section contains header information about the page, which will almost always contain the title of the page and the meta tags. Finally, the body section is all content that is viewable on the browser. For example, all the text you see here is contained within the body tags.

AND
The operator AND narrows the search by instructing the search engine to search for all the records containing the first keyword, then for all the records containing the second keyword, and show only those records that contain both.
In CLIO, if you enter search terms without an operator, AND will automatically be inserted between them (but make sure that Javascript is enabled on your computer, or the search will fail).

OR
The operator OR broadens the search to include records containing either keyword, or both.
The OR search is particularly useful when there are several common synonyms for a concept, or variant spellings of a word.
Examples:

adolescent or teen? medieval or "middle ages" vergil or virgil

NOT
Combining search terms with the NOT operator narrows the search by excluding unwanted terms.
