The html
element is topmost in the hierarchy of (X)HTML elements and is known as
the root element.
Therefore all (X)HTML elements are descendants of the html
element. The html
element appears after the Document Type Declaration.
The head
and the body
elements, and, in the case of a Frameset document, the
frameset
element are the only child elements of html
.
Example: <html lang="en">
