For example: <!doctype foohtml><head><title>One</title></head> <body><p>Hello</p></body></html> The parent of the P is body, (and the parent of body is html). <!doctype foohtml><head><title>Two</title></head> <body><ul><li><p>Hello</p></li></ul></body></html> The parent of p is li, the parent of li is ul, the parent of ul is body and the parent of body is html.
