Some key points about HTML elements
1. Syntax:
- An opening tag indicates where the content begins:
<tagname>. - A closing tag indicates where the content ends:
</tagname>. - The actual content resides between the opening and closing tags.
2. Case Sensitivity:
- HTML tags are not case-sensitive. For example,
<B>and<b>both represent bold text. - However, it’s a best practice to use lowercase tags for consistency.
HTML Element | Descriptions |
|---|---|
Opening tag(<tagname > ) | It is used to tell the browser where the content material starts. |
Closing tag(</tagname>) | It is used to tell the browser where the content material ends. |
Content | It is the actual content material inside the opening and closing tags. |
Combining all these 3 parts results in an overall HTML Element.
Example 1: In this example <p> is a starting tag, </p> is an ending tag and it contains some content between the tags, which form an element
