HTML Tags are the basic building blocks to a web page. HTML Tags consist of angled brackets (< >) which make up the elements or in-line styles of the web pages.
What are some rules to remember?
HTML must be properly closed with a start and end tag. The first tag is called the Start Tag or Opening Tag and the last tag is called the End Tag or Closing Tag. The Closing Tag will have a slash (/index.html) through it which acts as a punctuation to the HTML sentence.
