How does mp handle URLs and other HTML code?
(Revised 25-March-1998) mp now recognizes URLs in all contexts and makes them live links in the HTML output. You should not use HTML code in your element values because there’s no reason to believe that in the future the metadata will be processed by systems that understand HTML. If you must add HTML to the resulting documents, I recommend that you hack the HTML output of mp for this purpose. Note that mp now provides “preformatting” in which groups of lines that begin with greater-than symbols will be rendered preformatted, prefaced with
and followed by
in the HTML output. The leading >’s will be omitted from the HTML output.
