I told you I had trouble communicating with humans! When you say "display"
you are talking about UI (user interface). In HTML, any UI element is an
HTML element of some kind. Do you want to "display" the text in the page as
text, in text boxes in a form, or what? Can you describe in HTML-terms, what
you want the user to see?
