Putting one element inside
another is called “nesting”
When we put one element inside another element, we
call that
nesting
. We say, “the
<p>
element is nested
inside the
<body>
element.” At this point, you've
already seen lots of elements nested inside other
elements. You've put a
<body>
element inside an
<html>
element, a
<p>
element inside a
<body>
element, a
<q>
element inside a
<p>
element, and
so on. You've also put a
<head>
element inside the
<html>
element, and a
<title>
element inside the
<head>
. That's the way HTML pages get constructed.
The more you learn about HTML, the more
important having this nesting in your brain becomes.
But no worries
—
before long you'll naturally think
about elements this way.
