(Continued from previous topic...)

Can Two Elements Partially Overlap Each Other?

No, two elements can not partially overlap each other. One element must be completely enclosed inside the other element. See the following two examples:

  <!-- Valid: "em" is enclosed inside "strong" --> 
  <p>There was once upon <strong>a time a <em>peasant-
    woman</em> who had a daughter</strong> and a step-
    daughter.</p>
 
  <!-- Invalid: "em" is partially overlapped 
    with "strong" -->
  <p>There was once upon <strong>a time a <em>peasant-
    woman</strong> who had a daughter</em> and a step-
    daughter.</p>
