HTML Tags Overview
HTML tags are keywords enclosed in angle brackets (e.g.,
<p>,<img>) that define elements on a web page.Tags can be container tags (with opening and closing, like
<p>...</p>) or empty tags (self-closing, like<br>).The
<html>tag is the root element of every HTML document.The
<head>tag contains metadata (e.g., title, styles, scripts), while the<body>tag holds visible content.
