html delimiters

As blog owners know, you have a choice of "compose" mode or "html" mode when writing a new post or editing an old one. I switch between the two modes, knowing I have more control when in html mode. For beginners, in html mode here are examples of simple tags you can use to delimit text for various effects. (I do this now out of interest to see what browsers the xmp tag works in.)

lime is produced by
<span style="color: lime;">lime</span>
strikethrough is produced by
<s>strikethrough</s>
italic is produced by
<i>italic</i>
To display html examples such as these above, I delimit using xmp and /xmp, otherwise we would have pairs of identical lines! What doesn't work is nesting xmp's here to show you how the xmp delimiters work, but you get the idea, maybe. xmp switches off html interpreting.

But what may happen in your browser if it is different from mine is that the xmp delimiters may not even be functional, which means the above probably won't make much sense. They work fine (here) in Chrome. It would be interesting to know which browsers they don't work in. The main browsers other than Chrome would be Firefox (works OK), Safari, Opera, and Explorer, in descending order from best to worst, generally. Let me know?
