5. Phrasing HTML Elements

Mark J. Collins

(1)Chesterfield, Virginia, USA

In the previous chapter we looked at the elements that are used to organize an HTML document into sections and lower-level groupings. Each of these elements is used for a specific semantic purpose. In this chapter I’ll demonstrate the HTML elements that are used to mark up the actual text content. When creating your content, these should also be chosen for semantic reasons.

Note

Embedded elements such as images (img), audio, video, and canvas are also considered phrasing content. However, these will be covered by themselves in Chapter 7.
