HTML Elements
An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag:
<tagname>Content goes here...</tagname>
Examples of HTML elements:
<h1>My Heading</h1><p>My paragraph.</p><a href="https://example.com">Link</a>HTML Attributes
HTML attributes provide additional information about HTML elements:
<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example.com</a>
In this example, href is an attribute that specifies the URL of the page the link goes to.
Common HTML Tags
HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.
<h1>Heading 1</h1> <h2>Heading 2</h2> <h3>Heading 3</h3> <h4>Heading 4</h4> <h5>Heading 5</h5> <h6>Heading 6</h6>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p> <b>Bold text</b> <i>Italic text</i> <strong>Important text</strong> <em>Emphasized text</em>
