Large Heydon ColliderHere is my unofficial guide to the HTML `<body>` element:
As was suggested, I've added a note about omitting the `<head>` and `<body>` tags.
samir, a terminally deprecated method@heydon ooooh, I’ve been looking forward to this one. 😄
Terence Eden@heydon that was excellent. I'm not sure if HTML does represent the soul. But perhaps we need to pair the id attribute with one for the ego?
DJ Sundog
Justin Ferrell@heydon I love these explainers so much!

Jonas Platte@heydon Surprised to see no mention of the not-so-well-known fact that the body element can be implicit (not appearing in the HTML, yet always being instantiated to hold all interactive bits of the DOM), as of HTML5 IIRC.
@jplatte I did consider adding that. Maybe I'll add it later!
Michelle Barker@heydon Did you purposely publish this one on Halloween? 😂
@michelle No LOL. So the Holloween reference is last minute.
Martyn Hoyer@heydon so it should really be <torso>? Got it.
Giles@martynhoyer @heydon Does this imply the existence of a <leg> element?
Chris Gioran 💔"SVG documents do not have <head> or <body> elements and, as such, are more like echinoderms than humans or blobfish."
This quote lives in my head now, rent free.
Ian K Tindale@heydon wait though… the headline elements, h1, h2, er, h3, maybe h4, and finally h5, and also h6, are headlines – they’re the lines on your head, and yet they’re on the body, not the head – they’re lines on the body but called headlines – from now on henceforth I shall place my h1 etc elements where they logically belong, in the head
@u0421793 This is good to know 😆
@heydon some elements need slight refinement to their names - the aside for example, just call it ‘side’ like any normal person would, you don’t go to the doctor and say I’ve got a pain in my aside, you say side
Also footer - just call it foot
Base should be called arse, but it goes in the head, which perhaps is valid

Simeon.__proto__@heydon That last sentence was a banger
xypnox@heydon One can also indicate the existence of the implicit body element by using the <nobody> tag
