Periodic table of HTML elements

<html>

<output>

The HTML <output> element represents the result of a calculation or user action.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/output

<h1-h6>

Heading elements implement six levels of document headings, <h1> is the most important and <h6> is the least. A heading element briefly describes the topic of the section it introduces. Heading information may be used by user agents, for example, to construct a table of contents for a document automatically.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/h1

<strong>

The HTML Strong Element (<strong>) gives text strong importance, and is typically displayed in bold.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/strong

The HTML <param> Element (or HTML Parameter Element) defines parameters for <object>.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/param

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/caption

<th>

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/th

<input>

The HTML element <input> is used to create interactive controls for web-based forms in order to accept data from the user. How an <input> works varies considerably depending on the value of its type attribute.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input

<progress>

The HTML <progress> Element is used to view the completion progress of a task. While the specifics of how it's displayed is left up to the browser developer, it's typically displayed as a progress bar. Javascript can be used to manipulate the value of progress bar.

In conjunction with a preceding <thead> and/or <tfoot> element, <tbody> provides additional semantic information for devices such as printers and displays. Of the parent table's child elements, <tbody> represents the content which, when longer than a page, will most likely differ for each page printed; while the content of <thead> and <tfoot> will be the same or similar for each page printed. For displays, <tbody> will enable separate scrolling of the <thead>, <tfoot>, and <caption> elements of the same parent <table> element. Note that unlike the <thead>, <tfoot>, and <caption> elements however, multiple <tbody> elements are permitted (if consecutive), allowing the data-rows in long tables to be divided into different sections, each separately formatted as needed.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/span

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/dt
