A tag library that encapsulates core functionality common to many JSP applications. JSTL has support for common, structural tasks such as iteration and conditionals, tags for manipulating XML documents, internationalization and locale-specific formatting tags, SQL tags, and functions.

Document type definition. An optional part of the XML document prolog, as specified by the XML standard. The DTD specifies

constraints on the valid tags and tag sequences that can be in the document. The DTD has a number of shortcomings, however,

and this has led to various schema proposals. For example, the DTD entry says that the XML

element called username contains parsed character data-that is, text alone, with no other structural elements under it. The

DTD includes both the local subset, defined in the current file, and the external subset, which consists of the definitions

contained in external DTD files that are referenced in the local subset using a parameter entity.

It is an agent that, when administered prenatally (to the mother), induces permanent structural malformations or defects in the offspring.

It is the leg of a structural angle which is projecting up from you when viewing.

It refers to the flat surface located at the outer end of a roof overhang or cantilever end or also a decorative trim or panel which projects from the face of a wall

It is the analysis of a member which assumes that material deformation disappears on removal of the force that produced it and the material returns to its original state.

It is the resistance to a racking affect or in-plane shear forces offered by roof deck, panels, or other structural members when properly attached to a structural frame.

It is a U-shaped yoke with internal threads in one end which can be attached to a threaded rod and the other end a connection with a hole used for a pin or bolt attchment.

It is a structural member cold-formed from sheet steel in the shape of a block "C" which can be used by itself or back to back with another C Section.

It is a seat which is sloped perpendicular to the member which most joist manufactures do not do. Usually the steel contractor furnishes a bent plate shim to provide level bearing for the seat.
