Elements & Tags

How opening tags, closing tags, and content come together.

1Anatomy of an Element

An HTML element is made of an opening tag, content, and a closing tag. Some elements are "void" (self-closing) like <img> and <br>.

Example Code

<!-- Normal element -->
<p>Hello world</p>

<!-- Void elements (no closing tag) -->
<br />
<img src="cat.jpg" alt="A cat" />
