HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
The document head provides processing information and metadata relating to the whole document. The style
sheets are usually linked here too.
The document body holds the content of the document. This can contain simple text, formatted text, images,
videos, applets, or dynamic content, for example. The most common generic containers are the
div
elements
(Figure
3-3
), while the generic inline container is the
span
element. Blocks of texts that can be considered paragraphs
should be written as the content of the
p
element.
