Paragraphs
All paragraphs are wrapped in p tags. Additionally, p
elements can be wrapped with a blockquote element if the p
element is indeed a quote. Historically, blockquote has been used
purely to force indents, but this is now achieved using CSS. Reserve blockquote
for quotes.
Markup:
All paragraphs are wrapped in p tags.
hr element represents a paragraph-level thematic break, e.g. a scene change
in a story, or a transition to another topic within a section of a reference book. The following
extract from Pandora’s Star by Peter F. Hamilton shows two paragraphs that
precede a scene change and the paragraph that follows it:
Markup:
Dudley was ninety-two, in his second life, and fast approaching time for another rejuvenation. Despite his body having the physical age of a standard fifty-year-old, the prospect of a long degrading campaign within academia was one he regarded with dread. For a supposedly advanced civilization, the Intersolar Commonwearth could be appallingly backward at times, not to mention cruel.
Maybe it won’t be that bad, he told himself. The lie was comforting enough to get him through the rest of the night’s shift.
The Carlton AllLander drove Dudley home just after dawn. Like the astronomer, the vehicle was old and worn, but perfectly capable of doing its job. It had a cheap diesel engine, common enough on a semi-frontier world like Gralmond, although its drive array was a thoroughly modern photoneural processor. With its high suspension and deep-tread tyres it could plough along the dirt track to the observatory in all weather and seasons, including the metre-deep snow of Gralmond’s winters.
Styleguide 2.3.2 */ /* Blockquotes Theblockquote element represents a section that is being quoted from another source.
Markup:
Styleguide 2.3.4 */ /* Lists Styles for both ordered and unordered lists are available. Include block elements within a single list item as appropriate. Sometimes we may want each list item to contain block elements, typically a paragraph or two. Markup:Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
The British Isles is an archipelago consisting of the two large islands of Great Britain and Ireland, and many smaller surrounding islands.
Great Britain is the largest island of the archipelago. Ireland is the second largest island of the archipelago and lies directly to the west of Great Britain.
The full list of islands in the British Isles includes over 1,000 islands, of which 51 have an area larger than 20 km2.
ol element denotes an ordered list, and various numbering schemes
are available through the CSS (including 1,2,3… a,b,c… i,ii,iii… and so on).
Each item requires a surrounding <li> and </li> tag,
to denote individual items within the list (as you may have guessed, li stands for list item).
Markup:
ul element denotes an unordered list (ie. a list of loose items that
don’t require numbering, or a bulleted list). Again, each item requires a surrounding
<li> and </li> tag, to denote individual items.
Here is an example list showing the constituent parts of the British Isles:
Markup:
dl element is for another type of list called a definition list.
Instead of list items, the content of a dl consists of dt
(Definition Term) and dd (Definition description) pairs.
Though it may be called a “definition list”, dl can apply
to other scenarios where a parent/child relationship is applicable. For example,
it may be used for marking up dialogues, with each dt naming a speaker,
and each dd containing his or her words.
Markup:
dl.dt terms may stand on their own without an accompanying dd, but in that case they share descriptions with the next available dt. You may not have a dd without a parent dt.‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
em element is used to denote text with stressed emphasis,
i.e., something you’d pronounce differently. Where italicizing is
required for stylistic differentiation, the i element may be preferable.
The i element is used for text in an alternate voice or mood, or otherwise offset
from the normal prose. Examples include taxonomic designations, technical terms, idiomatic
phrases from another language, the name of a ship or other spans of text whose typographic
presentation is typically italicised.
The strong element is used to denote text with strong importance. Where bolding
is used for stylistic differentiation, the b element may be preferable.
The b element is used for text stylistically offset from normal prose
without conveying extra importance, such as key words in a document abstract, product
names in a review, or other spans of text whose typographic presentation is typically
emboldened.
Markup:
You simply must try the negitoro maki!
There is a certain je ne sais quoi in the air.
Don’t stick nails in the electrical outlet.
You enter a small room. Your sword glows brighter. A rat scurries past the corner wall.
Styleguide 2.6.2 */ /* Small Print The small element is used to represent disclaimers, caveats, legal restrictions, or copyrights (commonly referred to as ‘small print’). It can also be used for attributions or satisfying licensing requirements. Markup:Copyright © 1922-2011 Acme Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Styleguide 2.6.3 */ /* Strikethrough vs. Del Thes element is used to represent content that is no longer accurate
or relevant. When indicating document edits i.e., marking a span of text as having been
removed from a document, use the del element instead.
The del element is used to represent deleted or retracted text which still must
remain on the page for some reason. Meanwhile its counterpart, the ins element,
is used to represent inserted text. Both del and ins have a
datetime attribute which allows you to include a timestamp directly in the element.
Markup:
She bought two five pairs of shoes.
cite element is used to represent the title of a work
(e.g. a book, essay, poem, song, film, TV show, sculpture, painting,
musical, exhibition, etc). This can be a work that is being quoted
or referenced in detail (i.e. a citation), or it can just be a work
that is mentioned in passing.
Markup:
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations, December 1948. Adopted by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III).
Styleguide 2.6.5 */ /* Inline quotes Theq element is used for quoting text inline. Example showing nested quotations:
Markup:
John said, I saw Lucy at lunch, she told me
Mary wants you to get some ice cream on your way home
. I think I will get some at Ben and Jerry’s, on Gloucester Road.
dfn element is used to highlight the first use of a term.
The title attribute can be used to describe the term.
Markup:
Bob’s canine mother and equine father sat him down and carefully explained that he was an allopolyploid organism.
Styleguide 2.6.7 */ /* Abbreviation Theabbr element is used for any abbreviated text,
whether it be acronym, initialism, or otherwise. Generally, it’s
less work and useful (enough) to mark up only the first occurrence of
any particular abbreviation on a page, and ignore the rest. Any text
in the title attribute will appear when the user’s
mouse hovers the abbreviation (although notably, this does not work in
Internet Explorer for Windows).
Markup:
BBC, HTML, and Staffs.
Styleguide 2.6.8 */ /* Time Thetime element is used to represent either a time on a
24 hour clock, or a precise date in the proleptic Gregorian calendar,
optionally with a time and a time-zone offset.
Markup:
Queen Elizabeth II was proclaimed sovereign of each of the Commonwealth realms on and , after the death of her father, King George VI.
Styleguide 2.6.9 */ /* Code Thecode element is used to represent fragments of computer code.
Useful for technology-oriented sites, not so useful otherwise.
Markup:
When you call the activate() method on the robotSnowman object, the eyes glow.
function getJelly() {
echo $aDeliciousSnack;
}var element is used to denote a variable in a mathematical
expression or programming context, but can also be used to indicate a placeholder
where the contents should be replaced with your own value.
Markup:
If there are n pipes leading to the ice cream factory then I expect at least n flavours of ice cream to be available for purchase!
Styleguide 2.6.11 */ /* Sample output Thesamp element is used to represent (sample) output from a program
or computing system. Useful for technology-oriented sites, not so useful otherwise.
Markup:
The computer said Too much cheese in tray two but I didn’t know what that meant.
Styleguide 2.6.12 */ /* Keyboard entry Thekbd element is used to denote user input (typically via a keyboard,
although it may also be used to represent other input methods, such as voice commands).
Markup:
To take a screenshot on your Mac, press ⌘ Cmd + ⇧ Shift + 3.
Styleguide 2.6.13 */ /* Superscript and subscript text Thesup element represents a superscript and the sub element represents
a sub. These elements must be used only to mark up typographical conventions
with specific meanings, not for typographical presentation. As a guide, only use
these elements if their absence would change the meaning of the content.
Markup:
The coordinate of the ith point is (xi, yi). For example, the 10th point has coordinate (x10, y10).
f(x, n) = log4xn
Styleguide 2.6.14 */ /* Marked or highlighted text Themark element is used to represent a run of text marked or highlighted
for reference purposes. When used in a quotation it indicates a highlight not originally
present but added to bring the reader’s attention to that part of the text. When used
in the main prose of a document, it indicates a part of the document that has been
highlighted due to its relevance to the user’s current activity.
Markup:
I also have some kittens who are visiting me these days. They’re really cute. I think they like my garden! Maybe I should adopt a kitten.
Styleguide 2.6.15 */ body { padding: 0; margin: 0; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; } /* Links and anchors Thea element is used to hyperlink text, be that to another page,
a named fragment on the current page or any other location on the web. as placed
within paragraphs will get special styles to visually distinguish them from regular copy.
Markup:

The secondary header above is anh2 element, which may be used for any form of important page-level header.
More than one may be used per page. Consider using an h2 unless you need a header level
of less importance, or as a sub-header to an existing h2 element.
Markup:
pre element represents a block of pre-formatted text, in which
structure is represented by typographic conventions rather than by elements.
Such examples are an e-mail (with paragraphs indicated by blank lines, lists indicated
by lines prefixed with a bullet), fragments of computer code (with structure indicated
according to the conventions of that language) or displaying ASCII art. Here’s an example
showing the printable characters of ASCII:

Tables
Tables should be used when displaying tabular data. The thead, tfoot
and tbody elements enable you to group rows within each a table.
If you use these elements, you must use every element. They should appear in this order:
thead, tfoot and tbody, so that browsers can render
the foot before receiving all the data. You must use these tags within the table element.
