{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

For historical reasons, {{domxref("Window")}} objects have a `window.HTMLDocument` property whose value is the {{DOMxRef("Document")}} interface. So you can think of `HTMLDocument` as an alias for {{DOMxRef("Document")}}, and you can find documentation for `HTMLDocument` members under the documentation for the {{DOMxRef("Document")}} interface.
