HTML documents have two parts: the document content and the tags. Tags are the HTML codes that indicate the document content. Some tags can include properties within the brackets that define the tag's appearance. You apply a tag to a document using the syntax:
<Tag Name properties>Document Content</Tag Name>
Tags can be identified by the brackets (<>) that enclose the tag name. Tags usually come in pairs but not always. In pairs the first tag is known as the opening tag which applies the feature and continues it until it encounters the closing tag, which turns off the feature. One-sided tags require only an opening tag.
Closing Tags are identified by the slash(/) that precedes the tag name.
There are many different tags depending on the effect required. This site will cover some of them.
