    A package is composed of a package specification and a package body. You declare the procedure in the specification (assuming you want the procedure to be public) and you implement it in the body.

    So, for example, you would create the package specification

    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE package1
AS
  PROCEDURE procHTML1;
END package1;

    And then you would create the package body

    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY package1
AS
  PROCEDURE procHTML1
  AS
  BEGIN
    htp.print( '<<some HTML>>' );
  END procHTML1;
END package1;
