 <p>Luan is implemented in Java and is tightly integrated with Java.  This makes it an excellent scripting language for Java.</p>

 <p>Now go back to the parent directory and do <b>luan luan:http/serve file:site</b>.  This will run the Luan web server on port 8080.  Try going to <a href="http://localhost:8080/">http://localhost:8080/</a>.  You should see the directory.  If you click on <b>hi.luan</b> you will see the source.  But if you remove the <b>.luan</b> and just go to <a href="http://localhost:8080/hi">http://localhost:8080/hi</a> then you will run the program which will generate the web page.</p>
 
-<p>The Luan webserver expects the file to return a function and calls it to generate the page.  Code of the form <b><%=Html.encode[[%>...<%]]%></b> writes its output to <b>Io.stdout</b> which by default is the standard output of the command line.  So in the returned function one usually starts by setting <b>Io.stdout</b> to a <tt>text_writer</tt> which writes its output to the HTTP response (to the web browser).</p>

 <p>You can find this example and others in the <a href="examples">examples directory</a>.  Take a look at <a href="examples/hi2.luan">hi2.luan</a> next.  Remember to remove the <b>.luan</b> from the URL to run the code.  And by the way, you can see the source for this page at <a href="tutorial.html.luan">tutorial.html.luan</a>.</p>
 
 <p>So now you have built your website and you want to publish it to the web.  If you have your own domain, create a CNAME record for it pointing to <b>s1.luanhost.com</b>.  If you don't have a domain, just use a domain like <b>bob.s1.luanhost.com</b> (anything of the form <b>*.s1.luanhost.com</b>).

-<p><tt><pre>
+<pre>
 	luan luan:host/push bob.s1.luanhost.com secret site
-</pre></tt></p>
+</pre>
 
 <p>The form is <b>luan luan:host/push domain password directory</b>.  If you change your site, just run this again and your site will be updated.  To delete your site, do <b>luan luan:host/delete domain password</b>.</p>
