Body h1 /h1 P /P /body: My First Heading My First Paragraph

The document discusses several HTML elements: - The <body> element defines the document body and contains <h1> and <p> elements. - The <h1> element defines a heading with the text "My First Heading". - The <p> element defines a paragraph with the text "My first paragraph". - Some elements like <p> will display correctly without a closing tag, but it is best practice to always include closing tags to avoid unexpected errors. - Empty elements like <br> do not need a closing tag but can include one for stricter validation.

The <body> element defines the document body.

It has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>.


The element content is two other HTML elements (<h1> and <p>).
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
The <h1> element defines a heading.
It has a start tag <h1> and an end tag </h1>.
The element content is: My First Heading.
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
The <p> element defines a paragraph.
It has a start tag <p> and an end tag </p>.
The element content is: My first paragraph.
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

Don't Forget the End Tag


Some HTML elements will display correctly, even if you forget the end tag:
<html>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph
<p>This is a paragraph
</body>
</html>
The example above works in all browsers, because the closing tag is considered optional.
Never rely on this. It might produce unexpected results and/or errors if you forget the end tag.

Empty HTML Elements

HTML elements with no content are called empty elements.


<br> is an empty element without a closing tag (the <br> tag defines a line break).
Empty elements can be "closed" in the opening tag like this: <br />.
HTML5 does not require empty elements to be closed. But if you want stricter validation, or you
need to make your document readable by XML parsers, you should close all HTML elements.
