<p>The following Hyper-Text-Markup-Language (<a style="background: #ff9000;color: #000000" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HTML</a>) code defines the user interface component of the BASE_CONVERTER web page application. Copy the HTML code from the source code file which is linked below into a text editor and save that file as <strong>base_converter.html</strong>. Use a web browser such as <a style="background: #ff9000;color: #000000" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Firefox</a> to open that HTML file (and ensure that the JavaScript and Cascading-Style-Sheet files are in the same file directory as the HTML file).</p>
<p><em><strike>Note that the contents of the HTML file are not displayed in a preformatted text box on this web page due to the fact that the WordPress server makes no distinction between HTML code which is encapsulated inside of a preformatted text box and WordPress web page source code.</strike> <span style="background:#00ffff">(The HTML code has been formatted to be properly displayed on this web page as of 17_SEPTEMBER. For details on how that was accomplished, visit the web page of karbytes’ blogging website named <a style="background:#000000;color:#ff9000" href="https://karbytesforlifeblog.wordpress.com/karbytes_17_september_2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">karbytes_17_september_2024</a>).</span></em></p>
<p><em><strong>If copy-pasting the following HTML code from the preformatted text box below into a text editor, remove the <a style="background: #ff9000;color: #000000" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space" target="_blank" rel="noopener">zero-width space</a> Unicode character (<span style="background:#000000;color:#fe9eff">&​#8203;</span>) which is located between the ‘s’ and the ‘r’ in the script tag(s) which each link to a <a style="background:#ff9000;color:#000000" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JavaScript</a> file.</em></strong></p>
