Heading elements implement six levels of document headings, <h1>
is the most important and <h6>
is the least. A heading element briefly describes the topic of the section it introduces. Heading information may be used by user agents, for example, to construct a table of contents for a document automatically.

The HTML <figcaption>
element represents a caption or a legend associated with a figure or an illustration described by the rest of the data of the <figure>
element which is its immediate ancestor which means <figcaption>

The HTML <canvas>
Element can be used to draw graphics via scripting (usually JavaScript). For example, it can be used to draw graphs, make photo compositions or even perform animations. You may (and should) provide alternate content inside the <canvas>
block. That content will be rendered both on older browsers that don't support canvas and in browsers with JavaScript disabled.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/canvas
The HTML <section>
element represents a generic section of a document, i.e., a thematic grouping of content, typically with a heading. Each <section>

element) as a child of the <section>
element.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/section
The HTML <figure>
element represents self-contained content, frequently with a caption (<figcaption>
), and is typically referenced as a single unit. While it is related to the main flow, its position is independent of the main flow. Usually this is an image, an illustration, a diagram, a code snippet, or a schema that is referenced in the main text, but that can be moved to another page or to an appendix without affecting the main flow.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/figure

The HTML Strikethrough Element (<s>
) renders text with a strikethrough, or a line through it. Use the <s>
element to represent things that are no longer relevant or no longer accurate. However, <s>

and <ins>
elements, as appropriate.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/s

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/time
The HTML <dialog>
element represents a dialog box or other interactive component, such as an inspector or window. <form>

element.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/dd
The HTML <hr>
element represents a thematic break between paragraph-level elements (for example, a change of scene in a story, or a shift of topic with a section). In previous versions of HTML, it represented a horizontal rule. It may still be displayed as a horizontal rule in visual browsers, but is now defined in semantic terms, rather than presentational terms.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/hr
The HTML <ul>
element (or HTML Unordered List Element) represents an unordered list of items, namely a collection of items that do not have a numerical ordering, and their order in the list is meaningless. Typically, unordered-list items are displayed with a bullet, which can be of several forms, like a dot, a circle or a squared. The bullet style is not defined in the HTML description of the page, but in its associated CSS, using the list-style-type property.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ul
The HTML element line break <br>
produces a line break in text (carriage-return). It is useful for writing a poem or an address, where the division of lines is significant.

) renders text with an underline, a line under the baseline of its content.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/u
The HTML Table Body Element (<tbody>
) defines one or more <tr>
element data-rows to be the body of its parent <table>
element (as long as no <tr>
elements are immediate children of that table element.) In conjunction with a preceding <thead>
and/or <tfoot>
element, <tbody>
provides additional semantic information for devices such as printers and displays. Of the parent table's child elements, <tbody>
represents the content which, when longer than a page, will most likely differ for each page printed; while the content of <thead>
and <tfoot>
will be the same or similar for each page printed. For displays, <tbody>
will enable separate scrolling of the <thead>
, <tfoot>
, and <caption>
elements of the same parent <table>
element. Note that unlike the <thead>
, <tfoot>
, and <caption>
elements however, multiple <tbody>
elements are permitted (if consecutive), allowing the data-rows in long tables to be divided into different sections, each separately formatted as needed.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/tbody
The HTML <article>
element represents a self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site, which is intended to be independently distributable or reusable (e.g., in syndication). This could be a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, a blog entry, an object, or any other independent item of content. Each <article>
should be identified, typically by including a heading (<h1>
-<h6>
element) as a child of the <article>
element.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/article
The HTML <div>
element (or HTML Document Division Element) is the generic container for flow content, which does not inherently represent anything. It can be used to group elements for styling purposes (using the class or id attributes), or because they share attribute values, such as lang. It should be used only when no other semantic element (such as <article>
or <nav>
) is appropriate.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/div
The HTML <li>
element (or HTML List Item Element) is used to represent an item in a list. It must be contained in a parent element: an ordered list (<ol>
), an unordered list (<ul>
), or a menu (<menu>
). In menus and unordered lists, list items are usually displayed using bullet points. In ordered lists, they are usually displayed with an ascending counter on the left, such as a number or letter.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/li
The HTML <abbr>
element (or HTML Abbreviation Element) represents an abbreviation and optionally provides a full description for it. If present, the title attribute must contain this full description and nothing else.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/abbr

The HTML Small Element (<small>
) makes the text font size one size smaller (for example, from large to medium, or from small to x-small) down to the browser's minimum font size. In HTML5, this element is repurposed to represent side-comments and small print, including copyright and legal text, independent of its styled presentation.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/small
The HTML Variable Element (<var>
) represents a variable in a mathematical expression or a programming context.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/var

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/dl
The HTML <main>
element represents the main content of the <body>
of a document or application. The main content area consists of content that is directly related to, or expands upon the central topic of a document or the central functionality of an application. This content should be unique to the document, excluding any content that is repeated across a set of documents such as sidebars, navigation links, copyright information, site logos, and search forms (unless the document's main function is as a search form).
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/main
The HTML <b>
Element represents a span of text stylistically different from normal text, without conveying any special importance or relevance. It is typically used for keywords in a summary, product names in a review, or other spans of text whose typical presentation would be boldfaced. Another example of its use is to mark the lead sentence of each paragraph of an article.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/b
The HTML Code Element <code>
represents a fragment of computer code. By default, it is displayed in the browser's default monospace font.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/code
The HTML Keyboard Input Element (<kbd>
) represents user input and produces an inline element displayed in the browser's default monospace font.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/kbd
The HTML <rtc>
Element embraces semantic annotations of characters presented in a ruby of <rb>
elements used inside of <ruby>
element. <rb>
elements can have both pronunciation (<rt>
) and semantic (<rtc>
) annotations.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/rtc
The HTML <span>
element is a generic inline container for phrasing content, which does not inherently represent anything. It can be used to group elements for styling purposes (using the class or id attributes), or because they share attribute values, such as lang. It should be used only when no other semantic element is appropriate. <span>
is very much like a <div>
element, but <div>
is a block-level element whereas a <span>
is an inline element.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/span
The HTML element word break opportunity <wbr>
represents a position within text where the browser may optionally break a line, though its line-breaking rules would not otherwise create a break at that location.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/wbr
The HTML <dt>
element (or HTML Definition Term Element) identifies a term in a definition list. This element can occur only as a child element of a <dl>
. It is usually followed by a <dd>
element; however, multiple <dt>
elements in a row indicate several terms that are all defined by the immediate next <dd>
element.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/dt
The HTML <ol>
Element (or HTML Ordered List Element) represents an ordered list of items. Typically, ordered-list items are displayed with a preceding numbering, which can be of any form, like numerals, letters or Romans numerals or even simple bullets. This numbered style is not defined in the HTML description of the page, but in its associated CSS, using the list-style-type property.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ol
The HTML <content>
element is used inside of Shadow DOM as an insertion point. It is not intended to be used in ordinary HTML. It is used with Web Components.
