+<html>
+ <head>
+ <title>Sample page</title>
+ </head>
+ <body>
+ <h1>Sample page</h1>
+ <p>This is a <a href="demo.html">simple</a> sample.</p>
+ </body>
+</html></pre><p>HTML documents consist of a tree of elements and text. Each
+ element is denoted by a <a href="#syntax-start-tag" title="syntax-start-tag">start
+ tag</a>, such as "<code title=""><body></code>", and an <a href="#syntax-end-tag" title="syntax-end-tag">end tag</a>, such as "<code title=""></body></code>". (Certain start tags and end tags can in
+ certain cases be <a href="#syntax-tag-omission" title="syntax-tag-omission">omitted</a>
+ and are implied by other tags.)<p>Tags have to be nested correctly, so that elements do not
+ partially overlap each other:<pre class="bad"><p>This is <em>very <strong>wrong</em>!</strong></p></pre><pre><p>This <em>is <strong>correct</strong>.</em></p></pre><p>This specification defines a set of elements that can be used in
+ HTML, along with rules about the ways in which the elements can be
+ nested.<p>Elements can have attributes, which control how the elements
+ work. In the example above, there is a <a href="#hyperlink">hyperlink</a>,
+ formed using the <code><a href="#the-a-element">a</a></code> element and its <code title="attr-hyperlink-href"><a href="#attr-hyperlink-href">href</a></code> attribute:<pre><a href="demo.html">simple</a></pre><p><a href="#syntax-attributes" title="syntax-attributes">Attributes</a> are placed
+ inside the start tag, and consist of a <a href="#syntax-attribute-name" title="syntax-attribute-name">name</a> and a <a href="#syntax-attribute-value" title="syntax-attribute-value">value</a>, separated by an "<code title="">=</code>" character. The attribute value can be left
+ unquoted if it is a keyword, but generally will be quoted. (The
+ value can also be omitted altogether if it is empty.)<p>The tree formed by an HTML document in this way is turned into a
+ DOM tree when parsed. This DOM tree can then be manipulated from
+ scripts. Since DOM trees are the "live" representation of an HTML
+ document, this specification is mostly phrased in terms of DOM
+ trees, instead of the serialisation described above.<p>Each element in the DOM tree is represented by an object, and
+ thus objects have APIs so that they can be manipulated. For
+ instance, a link can have its "<code title="attr-hyperlink-href"><a href="#attr-hyperlink-href">href</a></code>" attributed changed in
+ several ways:<pre>var a = <a href="#htmldocument" title="HTMLDocument">document</a>.<a href="#dom-document-links" title="dom-document-links">links</a>[0]; // obtain the first link in the document
+a.<a href="#dom-a-href" title="dom-a-href">href</a> = 'sample.html'; // change the destination URL of the link
+a.<a href="#dom-uda-protocol" title="dom-uda-protocol">protocol</a> = 'https'; // change just the scheme part of the URL</pre><p>HTML documents represent a media-independent description of
+ interactive content. HTML documents might be rendered to a screen,
+ or through a speech synthesizer, or on a braille display. To
+ influence exactly how such rendering takes place, authors can use a
+ styling language such as CSS.<p>In the following example, the page has been made yellow-on-blue
+ using CSS.<pre><!DOCTYPE HTML>
+<html>
+ <head>
+ <title>Sample styled page</title>
+ <style>
+ body { background: navy; color: yellow; }
+ </style>
+ </head>
+ <body>
+ <h1>Sample styled page</h1>
+ <p>This page is just a demo.</p>
+ </body>
+</html></pre><p>For more details on how to use HTML, authors are encouraged to
+ consult tutorials and guides. Some of the examples included in this
+ specification might also be of use, but the novice authors is
+ cautioned that this specification, by necessity, defines the
+ language with a level of detail that may be difficult to understand
+ at first.<h2 id="infrastructure"><span class="secno">2 </span>Common infrastructure</h2><h3 id="terminology"><span class="secno">2.1 </span>Terminology</h3><p>This specification refers to both HTML and XML attributes and DOM
