The following sections only cover conforming elements and features.
This section is non-normative.
An asterisk (*) in a cell indicates that the actual rules are more complicated than indicated in the table above.
† Categories in the "Parents" column refer to parents that list the given categories in
their content model, not to elements that themselves are in those categories. For example, the
a
element's "Parents" column says "phrasing", so any element whose content model
contains the "phrasing" category could be a parent of an a
element. Since the "flow"
category includes all the "phrasing" elements, that means the th
element could be a
parent to an a
element.
