Figure 1-4
Your web page with the new text you just added.
In this section, you learned how to create the underlying structure of a web page; however, none of these elements
really controls the physical layout of the page. In Chapter 2, you learn about the elements used to create the visual
sections of a web page.
You can see a full list of HTML5 elements in Appendix A.
Nesting Elements
The practice of placing one element within another is called
nesting.
Think of nesting as a big tree diagram. You
start with one element (
<body>
); this element has a number of other elements nested within it (in your web page,
the
<p>
elements). These elements then in turn have elements nested within them, and so on. This creates a huge
tree of elements with a number of different levels.
