HTML Elements

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

HTML Elements

The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:

Examples of some HTML elements:

Note: Some HTML elements have no content (like the
element). These elements are called empty elements. Empty elements do not have an end tag!

Nested HTML Elements

HTML elements can be nested (this means that elements can contain other elements).

All HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements.

The following example contains four HTML elements ( , , and

HTML Tag

The tag defines a web page content (text, images, links, etc.). It is placed inside the element, after the element. In an HTML document, we can use only one tag.

Commonly, a list of content-specific CSS classes is placed within the element allowing JavaScript developers and designers to target pages easily. Even if these classes are not used, they won’t cause any problems.

Syntax

The tag comes in pairs. The content is written between the opening () and closing () tags.

Example of the HTML tag:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> p>Content of the document p> body> html>

Result

Example of the HTML tag used with the CSS color and line-height properties:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> body < color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; > style> head> body> h1>HTML body tag example h1> p>Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book. p> body> html>
