1. Introduction # T
This specification provides the details necessary for
producers of HTML content
to create
conformant documents,
and for others to check the conformance of existing documents.
It is designed:
- to describe the syntax and structure of the
HTML language
- to describe the semantics of
HTML elements
and their attributes (that is, to describe what the elements
and attributes represent)
- to be clear and unambiguous
- to be as concise and readable as possible
Certain purposes are intentionally out of scope for this
specification; in particular, it:
- does not provide any conformance criteria for
HTML consumers;
in particular, it does not attempt to define how Web browsers
and other user agents process documents
- does not define any APIs related to processing of HTML
content by
HTML consumers.
- does not attempt to be a tutorial or “how to” authoring
