HTML Tags
Since HTML defines the
markup for a particular web page, you'll want the text, images, or other embeds
to appear in certain ways.
For example, you might
want some text to be big, other text to be small, and some to be bold, italic,
or in bullet point form.
HTML has
"tags" that let you get this done. So, there are tags to create
headings, paragraphs, bolded words, italicized words, and more.
The image below
describes the anatomy of an HTML tag:
HTML Elements
An element consists of the opening tag, a
character, the content, and a closing tag. Some elements are empty – that is,
they don't have a closing tag but instead have a source or link to content that
you want to embed on the web page.
An example of an empty element is <img>,
which you use to embed images on a web page.
HTML elements are often used interchangeably
with tags, but there's a small difference between the two. An element is a
combination of the opening and closing tag, and then the content between them.
I made another image to help you visualize the
anatomy of an HTML element:
