The tutorials found herein have been written for clarification of existing W3C HTML 5 and HTML 4.01 (and, by extension, xHTML 1.0 as text/html) specifications through the use of real-world examples.

Some section names have been taken from HTML 5; some remain HTML 4.01. Text-Level Elements in HTML 4.01 - have become Text-Level Semantics in HTML 5 but some were reclassified as Grouping or Phrasing Content; List elements are Grouping Content but shown here as “Lists”.
