Tags:
- 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 slash before the tag name.
HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets:
<tagname>content</tagname>Attributes:
Tags can also have attributes, which are extra bits of information. Attributes appear inside the opening tag and their values sit inside quotation marks. They look something like:
<tag attribute="value">Margarine</tag>Elements:
Elements are the bits that make up web pages.

<body> The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. </body> everything that is in between (and includes) <body> and </body> tags is the body element.
Example 2:
<title>Rumple Stiltskin</title>“<title>” and “</title>” are tags, “<title>Rumple Stiltskin</title>” is a title element
