- transparent content model:
- del content model = transparent → del element accepts the elements its parent accepts
- (the elements, possible parents of the del element, are listed above)
e.g.
1: p element, parent of the del element
<p> <del>... <⁄del><⁄p>
2: the p element accepts the a element as child
<p> <a> ... <a⁄><⁄p>
Conclusion: if the p element accepts the a element as child, then the del element will accept it too
<p> <del> <a> ... <a⁄> <⁄del><⁄p>
Examples: del parents, del children
