How do I add more info below a form

Newbie here. If u have a look at my code you will see the problem -
everything I add after I close my form still goes into it.
Thanks in advance.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>
<body>
<center><h1>Email Test</h1></center>
<hr>
<form method="post" action="">

<center><table border="1" bgcolor="#FFDAB9">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#A0522D" style="border-style: none;"><font
color="#ffffff"><b>Test</b></font></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border-style: none;"><center><table summary="Input fields
table">

<tr>
<th align="right"><label for="email">E-mail</label>:</th>
<td><input type="text" name="email" size="40" id="email" /></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center"><button type="submit"
id="button">Continue</button></td>
</tr>

</table></center>
</form>

1. Provide a URL
2. Use HTML 4.01 strict, not transitional
3. In the sample below, you don't have any text outside the
form.

Agreed. And don't mix XHTML with HTML 4.01. (The sample uses XHTML
3. In the sample below, you don't have any text outside the

Well, that's debatable:

The text "How do I get this text outside the form?" is surely meant to
be outside the form. But technically, the document is invalid, so
rigorously speaking it is not an HTML document at all and all
discussions about HTML elements in it are meaningless. But in practical
terms, the document opens two <table> element and closes only one of
them, as a validator like http://validator.w3.org would tell. And
there's an unclosed <center> too.

Adding </table></center> before </form> fixes this.

You started your form, then began a table, then inside one of the
table's cells you began a second table that you closed just before
closing the form, but when you closed the form, the original table was
still in progress and you never closed it. More briefly: you began the
table inside the form, but never ended it. Write nonsense, get nonsense!

HTML elements need to be either mutually exclusive or nested. They can't
simply intersect--you can't have

<aaa><bbb></aaa></bbb>
