Elements are fundamental units in HTML. The HTML language is made up of a set of elements, and rules for using them.

Elements are the basis for tags:

A tag is how an element gets written down in an HTML document.

One Tag, Two Tag

  • Some elements one tag
    • <img src="image.jpg" alt="element with one tag" />
  • Most elements use two tags: an opening tag, and a closing tag
    • Text inside paragraph.
