Hello,

Can I have <h1>, <pand <spantags inside a <ptag?

What should be the best tag to encapsulate all other tags? <div>?
What are the limitations of using <pand <spanin this?

Where can I find some information on this?

Thanks,
Miguel

<span>: yes. <h1and <p>: no.

Depends why you want to do that. <bodyis really all you need, but if
you need more divisions, than <divis good, yes.

What are the limitations of using <pand <spanin this?

<pis the element you use for a paragraph, and <spanis what you use
if you want to apply some style rules for no particular important
reason to a portion of text inside a paragraph. If you'd want to make
some text bold, think about the reason - do you want to emphasize it?
Use <em>.

Where can I find some information on this?

No. You can have <spanin there, but not the others. You could put
all three inside a <div>

Yes, but I start to get worried making recommendations like this
blindly, without seeing what you're trying to achieve!

It's not easy to find information on this. Most authoring guides
ignore it, or get it wrong.
It's often discussed in here though - search for "block" and "inline"

The definition is from the HTML DTD (which is hard to read at first)

Some explanation has been posted in the past
