Editing HTML element (section)

===Inline elements===

Inline elements cannot be placed directly inside the {{code|lang=html|code=<body>}} element; they must be wholly nested within block-level elements.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.5.1 |title=HTML 4.01 |publisher=W3C |access-date=2012-03-26}}</ref>

====Anchor====
{{for|anchors on Wikipedia|WP:ANCHOR DEF|selfref=true}}
{{glossary}}
{{term|term=a |content= {{XMLElement|a|Anchor}} }}
{{defn|1= <p>An anchor element is called an anchor because web designers can use it to "anchor" a URL to some text on a web page. When users view the web page in a browser, they can click the text to activate the link and visit the page whose URL is in the link.<ref>{{cite book |last1= Tittel |first1= Ed |last2= Burmeister |first2= Mary C. |date= 2005 |title= HTML 4 for dummies |edition= 5th |publisher= Wiley |location= Hoboken, New Jersey |isbn= 978-0-7645-8917-1 |page= 96 |url= https://archive.org/details/html4fordummies00titt_2/page/96/ |url-access= registration |access-date= 7 August 2022}}</ref></p>

<p>In HTML, an "anchor" can be either the {{em|origin}} (the [[anchor text]]) or the {{em|target}} (destination) end of a [[hyperlink]]. As an origin, setting the attribute <code>href</code>,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/Provider/ServerWriter.html|title=ServerWriter -- /Provider|website=W3C}}</ref> creates a hyperlink; it can point to either another part of the document or another resource (e.g. a webpage) using an external [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]]. As a target, setting the <code>name</code> or <code>id</code> [[HTML attributes]], allows the element to be linked from a [[Uniform Resource Locator]] (URL) via a [[fragment identifier]]. The two forms, origin and anchor, can be used concurrently.</p>

In HTML5, any element can now be made into a target by using the <code>id</code> attribute,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/tr/html5/index.html#attributes-1|title=HTML 5.2|website=W3C}}</ref> so using {{code|lang=html|code=<a name="foo">...</a>}} is not necessary, although this way of adding anchors continues to work.</p>

<p>To illustrate: the header of a table of contents section on <samp>example.com</samp>'s homepage could be turned into a target by writing: {{code|lang=html|code=<h2><a name="contents">Table of contents</a></h2>}}.</p>

<p>Continuing with this example, now that the section has been marked up as a target, it can be referred to from external sites with a link like: {{code|lang=html|code=<a href="http://example.com#contents">see contents</a>}};</p>

<p>or with a link on the same page like: {{code|lang=html|code=<a href="#contents">contents, above</a>}}.</p>

<p>The attribute <code>title</code> may be set to give brief information about the link: {{code|lang=html|code=<a href="URL" title="additional information">link text</a>}}.</p>

<p>In most graphical browsers, when the cursor hovers over a link, the cursor changes into a hand with an extended index finger and the <code>title</code> value is displayed in a [[tooltip]] or in some other manner. Some browsers render [[Alt attribute|alt text]] the same way, although this is not what the specification calls for.</p>

====Phrase elements====
Phrase elements are used for marking up phrases and adding structure or semantic meaning to text fragments. For example, the {{tag|em|o}} and {{tag|strong|o}} tags can be used for adding emphasis to text.

=====General=====

=====Computer phrase elements=====
These elements are useful primarily for documenting computer code development and user interaction through differentiation of source code ({{code|lang=html|code=<code>}}), variables ({{code|lang=html|code=<var>}}), user input ({{code|lang=html|code=<kbd>}}), and terminal or other output ({{code|lang=html|code=<samp>}}).

====Presentation====
As visual presentational markup only applies directly to visual browsers, its use is discouraged. Style sheets should be used instead. Several of these elements are deprecated or invalid in HTML 4 / XHTML 1.0, and the remainder are invalid in the current draft of [http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xhtml2-20050527/ XHTML 2.0]. The current draft of [https://web.archive.org/web/20150801133040/http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-semantics.html HTML5], however, re-includes {{tag|s|o}}, {{tag|u|o}}, and {{tag|small|o}}, assigning new semantic meaning to each. In an [[HTML5]] document, the use of these elements is no longer discouraged, provided that it is semantically correct.

{{term|term=b |content= {{XMLElement|b|Keyword}} }}
{{defn|1= <!-- not deprecated in [[HTML 4.01]]; not included in [[XHTML 2.0]] which is in draft stage; now a semantic element in [[HTML5]] -->
In [[HTML 4]], set font to '''boldface''' where possible. Equivalent CSS: {{code|lang=css|code={ font-weight: bold; } }}. The {{tag|strong|o}} element usually has the same effect in visual browsers, as well as having more semantic meaning, under [[HTML 4.01]].

In [[HTML5]], however, {{tag|b|o}} has its own meaning, distinct from that of {{tag|strong|o}}. It denotes "text to which attention is being drawn for utilitarian purposes without conveying any extra importance and with no implication of an alternate voice or mood."<ref name="html5-b-element">{{citation|url=http://developers.whatwg.org/text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element |title=4.6 Text-level semantics — The b element |publisher=Developers.whatwg.org |access-date=2012-03-26}}</ref>
}}
{{defn|<code>B</code> existed in ''[[#HTMLDRAFT12|HTML Internet Draft 1.2]]'', and was '''standardized''' in [[#HTML20|HTML 2.0]]; still current, redefined in HTML5.}}

{{term|term=i |content= {{XMLElement|i|Alternate voice}} }}
{{defn|1= <!-- not deprecated in HTML 4.01; not included in XHTML 2.0 which is in draft stage; now a semantic element in HTML5 -->
In [[HTML 4]], set font to ''italic'' where possible. Equivalent [[CSS]]: {{code|lang=css|code={ font-style: italic; } }}. Using {{tag|em}} has the same visual effect in most browsers, as well as having a semantic meaning as ''emphasis'', under [[HTML 4.01]]. (Purely typographic italics have many non-emphasis purposes, as HTML 5 more explicitly recognized.)

In [[HTML5]], however, {{tag|i|o}} has its own semantic meaning, distinct from that of {{tag|em|o}}. It denotes "a different quality of text" or "an alternate<!--sic--> voice or mood" e.g., a thought, a ship name, a [[Binomial nomenclature|binary species name]], a foreign-language phrase, etc.<!-- Not (or no longer) a precise quote, so don't put this in quotation marks --><ref name="html5-i-element">{{citation|url=http://developers.whatwg.org/text-level-semantics.html#the-i-element |title=4.6 Text-level semantics — The i element |publisher=Developers.whatwg.org |access-date=2012-03-26}}</ref>

{{term|term=u |content= {{XMLElement|u|Unarticulated annotation}} }}
{{defn|1= In [[HTML 4]], <u>underlined</u> text. Equivalent CSS: {{code|lang=css|code={ text-decoration: underline; } }}. Deprecated in [[HTML 4.01]]. Restored in [[#HTML5|HTML5]].

In [[HTML5]], the {{tag|u|o}} element denotes "a span of text with an unarticulated, though explicitly rendered, non-textual annotation, such as labelling the text as being a proper name in Chinese text (a Chinese proper name mark), or labelling the text as being misspelt." The [[HTML5]] specification reminds developers that other elements are almost always more appropriate than {{tag|u|o}} and admonishes designers not to use underlined text where it could be confused for a hyper-link.<ref name="html5-u-element">{{citation|url=http://developers.whatwg.org/text-level-semantics.html#the-u-element |title=4.6 Text-level semantics — The u element |publisher=Developers.whatwg.org |access-date=2012-03-26}}</ref>

{{term|term=small |content= {{XMLElement|small|Side comment}} }}
{{defn|1= In [[HTML 4]], decreased font size (<small>smaller</small> text). Equivalent CSS: {{code|lang=css|code={ font-size: smaller; } }}

In [[HTML5]], the {{tag|small|o}} element denotes "side comments such as small print."<ref name="html5-small-element">{{citation|url=http://developers.whatwg.org/text-level-semantics.html#the-small-element |title=4.6 Text-level semantics — The small element |publisher=Developers.whatwg.org |access-date=2012-03-26}}</ref> This has caused some confusion with the {{tag|[[#aside|aside]]}} element.

{{defn|1= In [[HTML 4]], indicated strike-through text (<s>Strikethrough</s>) and was equivalent to {{tag|strike|o}}.

In [[HTML5]], the {{tag|s|o}} element denotes information that is "no longer accurate or no longer relevant", and is not to be confused with {{tag|del|o}}, which indicates removal/deletion.<ref name="html5-s-element">{{citation|url=http://developers.whatwg.org/text-level-semantics.html#the-s-element |title=4.6 Text-level semantics — The s element |publisher=Developers.whatwg.org |access-date=2012-03-26}}</ref>

{{term|term=tt |content= {{XMLElement|tt|Teletype|deprecated=1}} }}
{{defn|1= [[non-proportional font|Fixed-width]] font ({{mono|typewriter-like}}<!-- DO NOT use actual deprecated markup in this page; use CSS to simulate its output.-->), also known as [[Teleprinter|teletype]], thus "tt". (Equivalent CSS: {{code|lang=css|code={ font-family: monospace; } }})}}

Possible replacements: [[#kbd|{{tag|kbd|o}}]] for marking user input, [[#var|{{tag|var|o}}]] for variables (usually rendered italic, and not with a change to monospace), [[#code|{{tag|code|o}}]] for source code, [[#samp|{{tag|samp|o}}]] for output.<ref name="html5-tt-not-supported" />}}

{{term|term=font |content= {{XMLElement|font|Font|deprecated=1}} }}
{{defn|1= {{code|lang=html|code=<font [color=<var>color</var>] [size=<var>size</var>] [face=<var>face</var>]>...</font>}}

Can specify the font color with the <code>color</code> attribute (note the American spelling), typeface with the <code>face</code> attribute, and absolute or relative size with the <code>size</code> attribute.

Examples (all uses are deprecated, use CSS equivalents if possible):
* {{code|lang=html|code=<font color="green">text</font>}} creates {{green|green text}}.
* {{code|lang=html|code=<font color="#114499">text</font>}} creates <span style="color:#149;">text with [[Hex triplet|hexadecimal color]] #114499</span>.
* {{code|lang=html|code=<font size="4">text</font>}} creates <span style="font-size:140%;">text</span> with size 4. Sizes are from 1 to 7. The standard size is 3, unless otherwise specified in the &lt;body> or other tags.
* {{code|lang=html|code=<font size="+1">text</font>}} creates <span style="font-size:125%;">text with size 1 bigger than the standard.</span> {{code|lang=html|code=<font size="-1">text</font>}} is opposite.
* {{code|lang=html|code=<font face="Courier">text</font>}} makes <span style="font-family:Courier;">text</span> with Courier font.

Equivalent CSS for font attributes:
*<code class="mw-highlight"><span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">font</span> <span class="na">size</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"<var>N</var>"</span><span class="p">&gt;</span></code> corresponds to <code class="mw-highlight"><span class="p">{</span><span class="nb">font-size</span><span class="o" style="color: #666;">:</span> <span class="nb"><var>Y</var><var>units</var></span><span class="p">}</span></code> (the HTML specification does not define the relationship between size <var>N</var> and unit-size <var>Y</var>, nor does it define a unit).
*{{code|lang=html|code=<font color="red">}} corresponds to {{code|lang=css|code={ color: red; } }}
*{{code|lang=html|code=<font face="Times New Roman">}} corresponds to {{code|lang=css|code={ font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; } }} – CSS supports a [[font stack]], of two or more alternative fonts.

The cite element"].</ref> But the WHATWG spec only permits the element to be used around the title of a work.<ref>[[#WHATWGLS|''HTML Living Standard'']], at [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-cite-element "§4.5.6 The cite element"].</ref> The W3C specs began with the broader definition, then switched to the very narrow one after WHATWG made this change. However, W3C reverted their own change in 2012, in response to negative developer-community feedback; the element was in broadly-deployed use with the broader scope, e.g., various blog and forum platforms wrap commenters' IDs and e-mail addresses in {{tag|cite}}, and people using the element for bibliographic citations were (and still are) routinely wrapping each entire citation in this element.

Another problem with the element is that WHATWG recommends that it be italicized by default (thus almost all browsers do so), because it (in their view) is only for publication titles. By convention, however, only certain kinds of titles actually take italics, while others are expected to be put in quotation marks, and standards may actually vary by publishing context and language. Consequently, many website authors and admins use a site-wide stylesheet to undo this element's auto-italics.
