Rules for coding the HTML body element
Make sure you understand the difference between a tag and element and are familiar with the definitions of namespace and other HTML terms.
- Code the body element for the body section after the end of the head element inside the html element.
- Begin the body element with a starting <body> tag. The element name uses lower case letters and should be in the HTML namespace, which it will pick up automatically from the
xmlnsattribute on the <html> tag. - Code the content of the document inside the body element.
- End the body element with a matching
</body>closing tag.
Content of the body element
The content of the body element can include HTML comments, text content and any tags that can be used in flow content.
