Basic HTML Elements

The main purpose of this article is to make sure that all basic HTML Elements are decorated with CSS so as to not miss any possible elements when creating new themes for Hugo.

Headings

Let’s start with all possible headings. The HTML <h1>—<h6> elements represent six levels of section headings. <h1> is the highest section level and <h6> is the lowest.

Heading 1

Paragraph

According to the HTML5 specification by W3C, HTML documents consist of a tree of elements and text. Each element is denoted in the source by a start tag, such as <body>, and an end tag, such as </body>. (Certain start tags and end tags can in certain cases be omitted and are implied by other tags.)

Elements can have attributes, which control how the elements work. For example, hyperlink are formed using the a element and its href attribute.

Blockquotes

The blockquote element represents content that is quoted from another source, optionally with a citation which must be within a footer or cite element, and optionally with in-line changes such as annotations and abbreviations.

Quoted text. This line is part of the same quote. Also you can put Markdown into a blockquote.
