<p>Most HTML4.0 elements permitted within the <strong class=html><a href="html/body.html">BODY</a></strong> are classified as either <a href="block.html">block-level elements</a> or <em>inline elements</em>. Inline elements typically may only contain text and other inline elements. When rendered visually, inline elements do not usually begin on a new line.</p>
<p>The following are defined as inline elements in HTML4.0:</p>
