SYMPTOMS
HTML keywords are characterized by an extra dollar sign in the syntax (such as $$History: $). Using these HTML keywords in a non-HTML document may remove text after the first instance of a greater than ">" character. If no ">" character exists in the document, nothing happens.

For references to more information about keywords, please see the REFERENCES section below.
