There are two ways to extend a class.

An Elephant class might extend a Mammal class because an elephant is a
mammal.

An Elephant class might have a variable of the Trunk class because an
elephant has a trunk

That is all that gobbledygook means.

Programmers love to create simplified replacements for HTML. 
They forget that the simplest language is the one you 
already know. They also forget that their simple little 
markup language will bit by bit become even more convoluted 
and complicated than HTML because of the unplanned way it grows.
