The HTML Developer Spec has some explanation/examples: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/dev/syntax.html#optional-tags Of course, it can be confusing when the tags for the top level elements html/head/body are omitted and their existence is only implied. When teaching HTML, it is best to make those elements explicit. - Chuck
