Hypertext Markup Language

html

The html element is the outermost envelope for the composition. It is often called the root element because HTML uses a hierarchical structure.

The html element comprises exactly two descendant elements: the head element which describes the document, and the body element which contains the composition itself.

Properties

lang: The natural human language of the document's written composition.; Use BCP 47 for guidance on how to code this, for example:

Example

html *lang=en {
    head {
        title Just Beyond the Thorny Divide
    }
    body {
        h1 A Series of Unhappy Events in Corslandia
        p How I learned to stop worrying and to embrace CORS.
    }
}
