Remarks

The <body> element can appear only once within the <html> element. The <body> element must be a complete tag; it cannot contain a tag body. Therefore, the tag must be closed in the same line. See the example below:

<body alink=... />

The body tag is only used to specifty the attributes contained in the <body> tag of the document appearing in the EditLive! editor. Any HTML text written inside this xml tag will not appear in the document stored in the EditLive! editor.
