element when editing an HTML document. It should be distinct from all
   NAME attribute values on  elements. For example:

   <NEXTID N=Z27>

5.3. Body: BODY

   The  element contains the text flow of the document, including
   headings, paragraphs, lists, etc.

   For example:

    
    Important Stuff
    Explanation about important stuff...
    

5.4. Headings: H1 ... H6

   The six heading elements,  through , denote section headings.
   Although the order and occurrence of headings is not constrained by
   the HTML DTD, documents should not skip levels (for example, from H1
   to H3), as converting such documents to other representations is
   often problematic.

   Example of use:

    This is a heading
    Here is some text
    Second level heading
    Here is some more text.

    Typical renderings are:

    H1
            Bold, very-large font, centered. One or two blank lines
            above and below.

    H2
            Bold, large font, flush-left. One or two blank lines
            above and below.

    H3
            Italic, large font, slightly indented from the left
            margin. One or two blank lines above and below.

    H4
            Bold, normal font, indented more than H3. One blank line
            above and below.

    H5
            Italic, normal font, indented as H4. One blank line
            above.

    H6
            Bold, indented same as normal text, more than H5. One
            blank line above.

5.5. Block Structuring Elements

   Block structuring elements include paragraphs, lists, and block
   quotes. They must not contain heading elements, but they may contain
   phrase markup, and in some cases, they may be nested.

5.5.1. Paragraph: P

   The  element indicates a paragraph. The exact indentation, leading
   space, etc. of a paragraph is not specified and may be a function of
   other tags, style sheets, etc.

   Typically, paragraphs are surrounded by a vertical space of one line
   or half a line. The first line in a paragraph is indented in some
   cases.

   Example of use:

    This Heading Precedes the Paragraph
    This is the text of the first paragraph.
    This is the text of the second paragraph. Although you do not
    need to start paragraphs on new lines, maintaining this
    convention facilitates document maintenance.
    This is the text of a third paragraph.

5.5.2. Preformatted Text: PRE

   The  element represents a character cell block of text and is
   suitable for text that has been formatted for a monospaced font.

   The  tag may be used with the optional WIDTH attribute. The
   WIDTH attribute specifies the maximum number of characters for a line
