HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets:

<tagname>content</tagname>

• HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p>

• The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag

• The end tag is written like the start tag, but with a slash before the tag name

Note:

The start tag is often called the opening tag. The end tag is often called the closing tag.
