@cindex follow FTP links
@item --follow-ftp
Follow @sc{ftp} links from @sc{html} documents. Without this option,
Wget will ignore all the @sc{ftp} links.
+@cindex tag-based recursive pruning
+@item --follow-tags=@var{list}
+Wget has an internal table of HTML tag / attribute pairs that it
+considers when looking for linked documents during a recursive
+retrieval. If a user wants only a subset of those tags to be
+considered, however, he or she should be specify such tags in a
+comma-separated @var{list} with this option.
+
+@item -G @var{list}
+@itemx --ignore-tags=@var{list}
+This is the opposite of the @samp{--follow-tags} option. To skip
+certain HTML tags when recursively looking for documents to download,
+specify them in a comma-separated @var{list}. The author of this option
+likes to use the following command to download a single HTML page and
+all documents necessary to display it properly:
+
+@example
+wget -Ga,area -H -k -K -nh -r http://@var{site}/@var{document}
+@end example
