+A section of HTML (at present, a Mason component) contained in a L</region>.

+=item element
+
+A Mason component used by one or more other pages, which is not a whole page of
+itself. As opposed to L<fragments|/fragment> C<elements> are strictly internal,
+and never visible to the outside world by themselves. Elements typically live
+under a path beginning with or containing '/_elements'. This, and the whole idea
+of an element is strictly convention, but Jifty contains elements for things
+like page headers, menus, and showing keybindings out of the box to make your
+life easier.
