Explanation

The text after the opening plaintext tag is displayed as a fixed width font. Some browsers may require the closing tag and some may not do it. Netscape 6 covers the text enclosed between the opening tag and the closing tag, while other browsers may render everything described after the opening tag as text, including the closing tag.
