HTML Tags

HTML Tags

HTML tags are element names surrounded by angle brackets:

  • HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p>
  • The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
  • The end tag is written like the start tag, but with a forward slash inserted before the tag name
<tagname>content goes here...</tagname>


Tip: The start tag is also called the opening tag, and the end tag the closing tag.
