///
/// It represents a single node in the document object model (DOM) and provides
/// the basic structure for layout and rendering.
/// It contains methods for computing layout requirements, setting the box
/// dimensions, selecting content, rendering to the screen, and checking the
/// layout status.
/// It typically contains child elements, which are also instances of Node.
///
/// Users are expected to derive from this class to create custom elements.
///
/// A list of builtin elements can be found in the `elements.hpp` file.
