Inline and Block Holes
The DOM API supports two types of holes: inline and block.
• An inline hole is for document elements that a paragraph element can contain:
Text, Image, LinkTarget, ExternalLink, InternalLink, CharEntity, and
AutoNumber.
• A block hole can contain the same kinds of document elements as an inline hole, as
well as Paragraph, Table, OrderedList, UnorderedList, DocumentPart, and
Group document elements.
