Thanks Elijah, that's great! I love the examples.

I can see why it's separate to the other triage guide - it's at a
different level - but some things in the "official" triage guide could
be rearranged to make what you've written fit in. Right now I don't have
time to do that, though adding a link shouldn't be too difficult...

Oh, and <html>, <head>, <body> etc. are quite useful in html documents
