HTML Elements

HTML documents are defined by HTML elements.
HTML Elements

An HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:
Start tag *     Element content     End tag *
<p>   Web design    </p>
<a href="default.htm">     This is a link     </a>
<br>

* The start tag is often called the opening tag. The end tag is often called the closing tag.
HTML Element Syntax

An HTML element starts with a start tag / opening tag
An HTML element ends with an end tag / closing tag
The element content is everything between the start and the end tag
Some HTML elements have empty content
Empty elements are closed in the start tag
Most HTML elements can have attributes

Tip: You will learn about attributes in the next chapter of this tutorial.

HTML Document Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Imzas technologies.</p>
</body>
</html>

The example above contains 3 HTML elements.
HTML Example Explained
The <p> element:
<p>I am a web developer.</p>

The <p> element defines a paragraph in the HTML document.
The element has a start tag <p> and an end tag </p>.
The element content is: This is my first paragraph.

The <body> element:
<body>
<p>I am a web developer.</p>
</body>

The <body> element defines the body of the HTML document.
The element has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>.
The element content is another HTML element (a p element).

The <html> element:
<html>
<body>
<p>Imzas technologies.</p>
</body>
</html>
Don't Forget the End Tag

Some HTML elements might display correctly even if you forget the end tag:
<p>This is a paragraph
<p>This is a paragraph

Empty HTML Elements
HTML elements with no content are called empty elements.
<br> is an empty element without a closing tag (the <br> tag defines a line break).
HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Tags
HTML tags are not case sensitive: <P> means the same as <p>. Many web sites use uppercase HTML tags.
