Hi Isabel, Inline elements [1] and anonymous inline boxes [2] cannot be placed directly inside the body, form or blockquote elements when using a strict Doctype. They must be wrapped in a block level element.
However, if a Transitional Doctype is used, then inline elements and anonymous inline boxes can be placed directly inside the body, form or blockquote elements. They are not required to be wrapped in block level elements.
