Up until this point we have discussed the markup of block-level structures of a document. These are characteristically rendered with paragraph breaks after them. Now we will focus on character-level markup. These alter the appearance of text within the blocks.
There are two major types of character-level elements: Font-style elements and Phrase-style elements. The remainder we will lump together as miscellaneous.
