# isHtmlElement

Checks if a rendered node is an `HTMLElement`.

## Signatures

```ts
export declare function isHtmlElement(node: Rendered): node is HTMLElement;
```

## Why

HTML-specific behavior can be selected without obscuring native DOM identity.

## Ownership and lifetime

The check reads the candidate's native HTML identity without cloning,
inserting, or retaining it.

## Examples

```ts
import { isHtmlElement } from "@typed/template/Wire"

const result = isHtmlElement(document.createElement("dialog"))
```
