The HTML and Its Elements

What is HTML? A web page is created using a language

called, Hypertext Markup Language, better known as HTML Code.

We can write our own coding within a plain text editor, such as

Note Pad, or use an HTML editor, which will write the code for you.

The HTML or Hypertext Markup Language has a elements or the HTML tags.


HTML tags (otherwise known as "HTML elements", and their

respective attributes are used to create HTML documents. Tags are

composed of the name of the element, surrounded by angle brackets.

HTML tags normally come in pairs like "< body >" and "< / body >". They

are the opening and closing tags. These elements are written with a

start tag and an end tag, with the content in between. As you can see,

an end tag has a slash after the opening angle brackets to define that

it is the closing tag. But some elements, the so-called void elements

don't have an end tag. A typical example is the br element, which

represents a significant line break, such as in a poem or an address.


HTML, known as the HyperText Markup Language which is the

predominant markup language for web pages and it is the

building-blocks of web pages. HTML is written in the form of

HTML elements consisting of tags that enclosed in angle brackets

like "< html >", within the web page content.
