DVB-HTML Browser Tutorial

What is DVB-HTML?

DVB-HTML 1.0 is based on XHTML 1.0 standard, a reformulation of HTML 4 as an application of XML (version 1.0). DVB-HTML is part of the Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) Specification 1.1. Content format of the ORTIKON ACE® Browser is a subset of DVB-HTML 1.0. These tutorial pages give usage examples of the DVB-HTML tags and CSS2 properties which are supported in the current version (v4.0.4) of ORTIKON ACE® Browser MHP application

Note

There are some fundamental differences between the XML based strict XHTML and various versions of HTML. Thus it is highly recommended to read through the "Guidelines For Creating DVB-HTML Content" -document before creating DVB-HTML content, even though you would be familiar with some versions of HTML. You get the latest version of this document by registration. The differences between HTML and XHTML include e.g. well-formedness requirement and case sensitivity of XML/XHTML syntax.

These pages are optimized for ORTIKON ACE® DVB-HTML Browser. Because DVB-HTML is the format for digital-TV they use some features not used in PC world (such as MPEG2 I-frame backgrounds), and thus the layout does not look as they were originally designed on PC. By watching these pages with PC browsers you anyhow get the idea what features our current DVB-HTML Browser support.
