This contains the document body. Both start and end tags for BODY may be omitted. The body can contain a wide range of elements:
The key attributes are: BACKGROUND, BGCOLOR, TEXT, LINK, VLINK and ALINK. These can be used to set a repeating background image, plus background and foreground colors for normal text and hypertext links.
Example:
<body bgcolor=white text=black link=red vlink=maroon alink=fuchsia>
Colors are given in the sRGB color space as hexadecimal numbers (e.g. COLOR="#C0FFC0"), or as one of 16 widely understood color names. These colors were originally picked as being the standard 16 colors supported with the Windows VGA palette.
