<H1 ALIGN=CENTER>Overview of all HTML elements</H1>
<HR WIDTH="75%" SIZE=3>
As explained in the <A HREF="structure.html">section on structure</A> of
Wilbur documents, an HTML document consists of two major sections:
<STRONG>HEAD</STRONG> and <STRONG>BODY</STRONG>. Each has its own
permitted elements and requirements.
<P>
The elements themselves can also have requirements about where they may occur,
and which elements may occur inside them. This is only important in the
BODY section of a document. In here, elements can be grouped in two
distinct groups: <EM>block level</EM> and <EM>text level</EM>
elements. The former make up the document's structure, and the latter
"dress up" the contents of a block. This terminology is explained in
more detail in the <A HREF="structure.html">HTML Basics</A> section.
<P>
The HTML <A HREF="misc/comment.html">comment</A> is a special case.
<HR>
<H2 ALIGN=CENTER>Elements for the HEAD section</H2>
The <A HREF="./head/head.html">HEAD</A> section of a document may only contain the following elements.
If any other elements, or <A HREF="./misc/pcdata.html">plain text</A>, occurs inside the HEAD section, the
browser should assume the HEAD ends here, and start rendering the
<A HREF="./body/body.html">BODY</A>.
See the <A HREF="syntax.html">syntax rules</A> for an explanation of the
syntax used in the overview.

<H2 ALIGN=CENTER>Elements for the BODY section</H2>
<H3><A NAME="block">Block-level elements</A></H3>
The <A HREF="./body/body.html">BODY</A> of a document consists of multiple block elements. If plain
text is found inside the body, it is assumed to be inside a paragraph <A HREF="./block/p.html">P</A>.

only appear inside specific block level elements. This is documented in
the section on that block level element.<P>
