Html Elements

An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag.

Examples of some HTML elements:

<h1>My First Heading</h1>

<p>My first paragraph.</p>

Empty Elements

  • Some HTML elements have no content. These elements are called empty elements.
  • Empty elements do not have an end tag!
  • Empty elements are sometimes called void elements.

Example:

<br>

Nested Elements

HTML elements can be nested. Elements can contain other elements.

Case-InSenstive

  • Tags in HTML are case-insensitive.
  • Best practice to write all tags in lowercase for consistency, readability, and other reasons.
