HTML elements – test display

This document contains a table that shows test display of HTML elements, in alphabetic order, with some comments. The document is completely unstyled, except for the main table, which has cell borders (and cell padding set to zero) so that the visual appearance of elements can be seen, and header cells left-aligned.

In most cases, the element content (when applicable) is the word “test”. If the element has fallback content (for browsers not supporting the element), the word “FALLBACK” is used for the purpose. When needed to test formatting, the content is preceded by the word “beforet” and followed by the word “after”
