text alignment for p, div, h1-h6. The default is align="left" for ltr headings, "right" for
rtl
=================== Text Elements ====================================
these can only occur at block level
these can only occur at block level
"Inline" covers inline or "text-level" element
================== Block level elements ==============================
"Flow" mixes block and inline and is used for list items etc.
================== Content models for exclusions =====================
a elements use "Inline" excluding a
pre uses "Inline" excluding img, object, applet, big, small, font, or basefont
form uses "Flow" excluding form
button uses "Flow" but excludes a, form, form controls, iframe
================ Document Structure ==================================
================ Document Head =======================================
content model is "head.misc" combined with a single title and an optional base element in any
order
The title element is not considered part of the flow of text. It should be displayed, for example as the
page header or window title. Exactly one title is required per document.
document base URI
generic metainformation
Relationship values can be used in principle:
a) for document specific toolbars/menus when used with the link element in document head e.g. start,
contents, previous, next, index, end, help b) to link to a separate style sheet (rel="stylesheet") c) to
make a link to a script (rel="script") d) by stylesheets to control how collections of html nodes are
rendered into printed documents e) to make a link to a printable version of this document e.g. a
PostScript or PDF version (rel="alternate" media="print")

=================== Document Body ====================================

=================== Paragraphs =======================================
=================== Headings =========================================
There are six levels of headings from h1 (the most important) to h6 (the least
important).
=================== Lists ============================================
Unordered list bullet styles
Unordered list
Ordered list numbering style
1 arabic numbers 1, 2, 3, ... a lower alpha a, b, c, ... A upper alpha A, B, C, ... i lower roman i, ii,
iii, ... I upper roman I, II, III, ...
The style is applied to the sequence number which by default is reset to 1 for the first list item in an
ordered list.
Ordered (numbered) list
single column list (DEPRECATED)
multiple column list (DEPRECATED)
LIStyle is constrained to: "(ULStyle|OLStyle)"

definition lists - dt for term, dd for its definition
=================== Address ==========================================

=================== Horizontal Rule ==================================
=================== Preformatted Text ================================

=================== Block-like Quotes ================================
=================== Text alignment ===================================

=================== Inserted/Deleted Text ============================
ins/del are allowed in block and inline content, but its inappropriate to include block content within an
ins element occurring in inline content.
================== The Anchor Element ================================
content is "Inline" except that anchors shouldn't be nested
===================== Inline Elements ================================

==================== Object ======================================
object is used to embed objects as part of HTML pages. param elements should precede other content.
Parameters can also be expressed as attribute/value pairs on the object element itself when brevity is
desired.
param is used to supply a named property value. In XML it would seem natural to follow RDF and support
an abbreviated syntax where the param elements are replaced by attribute value pairs on the object start
tag.
=================== Java applet ==================================
One of code or object attributes must be present. Place param elements before other
content.
=================== Images ===========================================
To avoid accessibility problems for people who aren't able to see the image, you should provide a text
description using the alt and longdesc attributes. In addition, avoid the use of server-side image
maps.
usemap points to a map element which may be in this document or an external document, although
the latter is not widely supported
================== Client-side image maps ============================
These can be placed in the same document or grouped in a separate document although this isn't yet widely
supported
================ Forms ===============================================
Each label must not contain more than ONE field Label elements shouldn't be nested.
form control
the name attribute is required for all but submit & reset
option selector
option group
selectable choice
multi-line text field
The fieldset element is used to group form fields. Only one legend element should occur in the content
and if present should only be preceded by whitespace.
NOTE: this content model is different from the XHTML 1.0 DTD, closer to the intended content model in
HTML4 DTD
fieldset label
Content is "Flow" excluding a, form and form controls
single-line text input control (DEPRECATED)
======================= Tables =======================================
Derived from IETF HTML table standard, see [RFC1942]
The border attribute sets the thickness of the frame around the table. The default units are screen
pixels.
The frame attribute specifies which parts of the frame around the table should be rendered. The values
are not the same as CALS to avoid a name clash with the valign attribute.
The rules attribute defines which rules to draw between cells:
If rules is absent then assume: "none" if border is absent or border="0" otherwise
"all"
horizontal placement of table relative to document
horizontal alignment attributes for cell contents
char alignment char, e.g. char=':' charoff offset for alignment char
vertical alignment attributes for cell contents
Use thead to duplicate headers when breaking table across page boundaries, or for static headers when tbody
sections are rendered in scrolling panel.
Use tfoot to duplicate footers when breaking table across page boundaries, or for static footers when tbody
sections are rendered in scrolling panel.
Use multiple tbody sections when rules are needed between groups of table rows.
colgroup groups a set of col elements. It allows you to group several semantically related columns
together.
col elements define the alignment properties for cells in one or more columns.
The width attribute specifies the width of the columns, e.g.
width=64 width in screen pixels width=0.5* relative width of 0.5
The span attribute causes the attributes of one col element to apply to more than one
column.
Scope is simpler than headers attribute for common tables
th is for headers, td for data and for cells acting as both
