    So... I found a really old, handwritten bit of HTML back from my middle school days in a school notebook. Given that I was referencing my "C:\" drive, it could even be from 5th grade (I started fiddling with Linux in 6th or 7th grade). I consider it proof that the marquee element was absolutely essential to the HTML standard and its continued absence is a shame.

    #html #marquee

    Handwritten HTML on a page in a spiral-bound notebook. Within it is a marquee element with nested sub-elements. Not content for the content to "just" scroll, I apparently felt that the content needed to be yellow, massive font size, and with a picture moving alongside it too. <marquee> <font color="yellow" face="arial" size="+5"> <img src="C:\Doc.&Set.\P.M.\D.T.\pic.jpg"> Welcome to "the website" </font> </marquee>
