This is a citation record for the document entitled Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Generated from the Hypertext March 15, 1993. I think I originally got the PostScript® source from info.cern.ch using FTP. If I still have the source then it is on tape -- I have not located a softcopy on a local disk, at CERN or w3.org.

In late December 1995, I found copies of several old documents about
HTML and the WWW at http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MarkUp/PubHistory.html. That list did not
include the document that this is a citation record for. I recall seeing
an updated list of relationship values by Dan Connoly before then that included many hierarchy elements such as
ToC (for Table of
Contents) and a note that they were used at W3O to
generate linear versions of their HTML documents. I did not make a local
copy because I naïvely expected it would continue to be accessible at
W3O. I think that document was at http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Relationships.html but I'm not sure.
On 3 June 1996, the document (or something closely resembling it) resurfaced at W3O. I have made local copies of some of it and some related documents.
