<source>	Defines multiple media resources for media elements (<video> and <audio>).

Canvas element

Controls that enable you to access the 2D context of a <canvas> element and use it to verify and simulate drawing.

Controls	Description
<canvas>	Used to draw graphics, on the fly, using scripting (usually JavaScript).

SVG element

Identify inline SVG on Web pages, allowing tests to create verifications for displayed 2D drawings.

Controls	Description
<rect>	The <rect> element is used to create a rectangle.
<circle>	The <circle> element is used to create a circle.
<ellipse>	The <ellipse> element is used to create an ellipse.
<line>	The <line> element is used to create a line.
<polygon>	The <polygon> element is used to create a graphic element containing at least three sides.
<polyline>	The <polyline> element is used to create any shape that consists of only straight lines.
<path>	The <path> element is used to define a path.
<text>	The <text> element is used to define a text string.
<a>	The <a> element is used to create a hyperlink around SVG elements.
<altGlyph>	Provides control over the glyphs used to render particular character data.
<altGlyphItem>	Defines a candidate set of glyph substitutions.
<animate>	Defines how an attribute of an element changes over time.
<animateColor>	Defines a color transformation over time.
<animateMotion>	Causes a referenced element to move along a motion path.
<animateTransform>	Animates a transformation attribute on a target element, thereby allowing animations to control translation, scaling, rotation and/or skewing.
<clipPath>	Clipping is about hiding what normally would be drawn. The stencil which defines what is and what isn’t drawn is called a clipping path.

<linearGradient>	Defines a linear gradient.
<marker>	Markers can be placed on the vertices of lines, polylines, polygons and paths.
<mask>	Masking is a combination of opacity values and clipping. Like clipping you can use shapes, text or paths to define sections of the mask.
<pattern>	Defines the coordinates you want the view to show and the size of the view. Then you add shapes into your pattern. The pattern repeats when an edge of the view box (viewing area) is hit.
<radialGradient>	Defines a radial gradient.
<stop>	The stops for a gradient.
<svg>	Creates an SVG document fragment.
<text>	Defines a text.
<tref>	References any <text> element in the SVG document and reuse it.
<tspan>	Identical to the <text> element but can be nested inside text tags and inside itself.
<use>	Uses a URI to reference a <g>, <svg> or other graphical element with a unique id attribute and replicate it.
