Nesting & Depth

<p>Sir <strong>Alex Ferguson</strong> once said about Filipo Inzaghi:<q>"That lad must have been born offside."</q>. </p>

In this setup:

  • the <strong> element gives the words “Alex Ferguson” more importance
  • the <q> marks his quote about Inzaghi

The fact that <strong> is displayed in bold is only the browser’s default behavior. Remember that you have to choose HTML elements according to their meaning, not how they look like.

In this case:

  • <p> is the parent element of <strong> and <q>
  • <strong> and <q> are child elements of <p>
  • <strong> and <q> are sibling elements
