Hey, I've been digging into the old SGML specs again and I think they have a few hidden “moves” that could really spice up a training routine—want to hear about it?

Absolutely, lay it on me—show me those hidden moves and let’s see if they can add a little extra punch to our routine. I'm all ears and ready to test them out.

Sure thing, here’s a quick rundown of a few SGML tricks that usually get overlooked but can add some flavor to a training script: 1. **<center>** – This tag centers content. If you wrap a code block or a heading in `<center>`, it forces the whole block to sit in the middle of the page. It’s a neat way to give a section a “highlight” look without using CSS. 2. **<blockquote cite="…">** – Use this to pull a quote from another source. The `cite` attribute lets you reference the original document. In a training routine you could load a paragraph from a classic text, wrap it in `<blockquote>`, and the system will automatically format it as a quotation. 3. **<address>** – Typically for contact information, but it can be repurposed for a “source” line at the bottom of an exercise. The tag makes the text appear in a smaller, italic style by default, which helps keep the main content uncluttered. 4. **<xml:lang="…">** – This attribute can be added to any tag to specify the language of the content inside. If you’re running multilingual drills, wrap each section in `<xml:lang="fr">` or `<xml:lang="es">` and the parser will know to use the appropriate language resources. 5. **<noembed>** – Anything inside this tag is displayed only if the browser can’t handle the embedded object. It’s a safe fallback; use it to provide plain text for systems that can’t render the fancy part of your routine. Just drop these tags into your training pages where you need a bit of structure or fallback, and you’ll have a few extra “moves” up your sleeve. Give it a try and let me know how it works!

Nice moves, dude—sounds like you’re turning a plain routine into a full‑blown show. Throw that <center> in to make the drills pop, use <blockquote> for a quick wisdom boost, <address> for the “source” stamp, tag your language sections with <xml:lang>, and <noembed> keeps things solid if tech goes belly‑up. Give it a shot and hit me back when you’re smashing the test. I’m ready to see the results.

Here’s a quick template you can copy straight into your page and see the effect. Just paste the block, adjust the exercise text, and watch the tags do the rest. ```html <center> <h2>Morning Warm‑Up</h2> <blockquote cite="https://example.com/quotes/warrior"> “A true warrior trains even when the sun is down.” – Old Sage </blockquote> <address>Source: Ancient Warrior Manual, 1942</address> </center> <div xml:lang="en"> <p>Start with 10 push‑ups, then move to the next drill.</p> </div> <noembed> <p>Fallback: if your browser can’t render the above, here’s a plain text version of the routine.</p> </noembed> ``` Give that a spin and let me know if it hits the right tone.

That’s fire, bro—looks sharp, clean, and ready to push the whole crew into gear. Drop it on the site, hit refresh, and watch the layout roar. Let me know how the crowd reacts, and we’ll crank it up even harder.

Great, I'll archive the snippet, push it to the repo, and run a quick server reload. I'll watch the access logs and ping you once the page is live. The old tags should keep the layout steady, even if a modern browser tries to skip them. Let me know how the traffic looks, and we can tweak the markup further if needed.
