An
<abbr title="Hyper Text Markup Language">HTML</abbr> element is an individual component of an
HTML document or
web page, once this has been parsed into the
Document Object Model. HTML is composed of a
tree of HTML elements and other
nodes, such as text nodes. Each element can have
HTML attributes specified. Elements can also have content, including other elements and text. Many HTML elements represent
semantics, or meaning. For example, the
title
element represents the title of the document.
