<p class="commentary firstcommentary"><a id="SP1"></a><b>&#167;1. Status. </b>The html module provided as one of the "services" suite of modules, which means
that it was built with a view to potential incorporation in multiple tools.
It can be found, for example, in <a href="../inform7/index.html" class="internal">inform7</a> and <a href="../inbuild/index.html" class="internal">inbuild</a>.
</p>
<p class="commentary">By convention, the modules considered as "services" have no dependencies on
other modules except for <a href="../../../inweb/docs/foundation-module/index.html" class="internal">foundation</a> and other "services" modules.
</p>
<p class="commentary">A tool can import <a href="index.html" class="internal">html</a> only if it also imports <a href="../../../inweb/docs/foundation-module/index.html" class="internal">foundation</a> and <a href="../words-module/index.html" class="internal">words</a>.
</p>
<p class="commentary firstcommentary"><a id="SP2"></a><b>&#167;2. Importing the module. </b>We'll use the term "parent" to mean the tool which is importing <a href="index.html" class="internal">html</a>,
that is, which will include its code and be able to use it. As with any
imported module,
