Ambiguities Developers Should Know

Hi,
I was wondering which phrases developers should know are grammatically ambiguous. I know “element” has double meaning; it can be used in the normal sense, but it can also be defined as something (like

<h1>My Heading</h1>

) with at least one HTML tag. If somebody says “h1 element”, it could be unclear whether they are referring to what goes between the h1 tags (or something that contains the tags).

I was trying to say the word “element” can be defined as something with at least one HTML tag. I did not expect

My Heading

to appear.

Hi!

If you want to type html code here it is best to follow this guide:

When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
