this is why HTML is so awesome! “Now consider what happens when that same web browser encounters an element it doesn’t recognise.[…] Once again, the browser displays the text between the opening and closing tags. What’s interesting here is what the browser doesn’t do. The browser does not throw an error. The browser does not stop parsing the HTML at this point, refusing to go any further. Instead, it simply ignores the tags and displays the content within.”
