HTML Elements

The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:

<tagname>Content goes here...</tagname>

Examples of some HTML elements:

<h1>Good evening</h1>

<p>have a cup of coffee.</p>

<br> Some HTML elements, like the <br> element, have no content and are known as empty elements. These elements do not require an end tag.

HTML elements can be nested (this means that elements can contain other elements).

All HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements.

The following example contains four HTML elements (<html>, <body>, <h1> and <p>):

The <html> element is the root element and it defines the whole HTML document.

It has a start tag <html> and an end tag </html>.

Then, inside the <html> element there is a <body> element:

The <body> element defines the document's body.

It has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>.

Then, inside the <body> element there are two other elements: <h1> and <p>:

The <h1> element defines a heading.

It has a start tag <h1> and an end tag </h1>:

The <p> element defines a paragraph.

It has a start tag <p> and an end tag </p>:

HTML elements with no content are called empty elements.

The <br> tag defines a line break, and is an empty element without a closing tag:

HTML tags are not case sensitive: <P> means the same as <p>.

The HTML standard does not require lowercase tags,

Tag	Description
<html>	Defines the root of an HTML document
<body>	Defines the document's body
<h1> to <h6>	Defines HTML headings

TIPS

use the tags with lowercase

if you a open tag make sure it is closed with a tag
