Similarly, just as natural languages have grammatical rules for how different words can be used, HTML has rules for where and how each element and attribute can be used.
The basic structure of elements in an HTML document is a tree structure. 3.1 Syntactic Overview There are two syntaxes that can be used: the traditional HTML syntax, and the XHTML syntax.
