When to use VERB NOESC (was: Trying for valid HTML with DOCTYPE)

And Thunderstone replies:

This begs the question (I think): where can one find a list of HTML
which would be interpreted by Texis? Or in other words, which HTML
tags would I need to enclose with verb.../verb in order for the browser
to get it?

I came across www.thunderstone.com/vortexman/node21.html (hey, I'm
not TOTALLY helpless) but the reserved words listed there (including
DOCTYPE) don't all need the verb.../verb business for it to be displayed.
(Examples: form, font, hr, html, etc.) So maybe this ain't the list
I need...?

You're close to the right answer: the reserved tag names list applies
only to declaring function names in Vortex.
HTML tags that aren't otherwise significant in Vortex are printed out
as-is in functions. Significant tags are functions (builtin or
script), Vortex statements (<EXEC>, etc.), directives (<DB>), variables
and comments. See node10.html and node7.html.
