Processing and the DOM

We will begin working in-depth with HTML in the next Topic. For now, I want you to just have basic understanding of how HTML renders.

HTML is a language that describes the structure of a document intended for viewing through a browser. The browser’s processor identifies elements of the document by looking for tags embedded directly in the text. These elements are then parsed into the Document Object Model (DOM).

We can compare the basic structure of HTML to Markdown in the hierarchy of its elements. However, HTML is much more robust, and therefore needs more information to compile correctly.
