An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag.
HTML Elements
The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:
<tagname>Content goes here...</tagname>
Examples of some HTML elements:
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
Note: Some HTML elements have no content (like the <br> element). These elements
are called empty elements. Empty elements do not have an end tag!
All HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

Example Explained
The <html> element is the root element and it defines the whole HTML document.
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
Example
<html>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph
<p>This is a paragraph
</body>
</html>

However, never rely on this! Unexpected results and errors may occur if you
forget the end tag!
Example
<p>This is a <br> paragraph with a line break.</p>

The HTML standard does not require lowercase tags, but W3C recommends lowercase
in HTML, and demands lowercase for stricter document types like XHTML.
At W3Schools we always use lowercase tag names.
