2.1 Creating Web Page Using HTML Elements

HTML Elements
An HTML element usually consists of a start tag and end tag, with the content inserted in between:

<tagname> Content goes here... </tagname>


The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:

<p>My first paragraph.</p>

Start Tag Element Content End Tag


<h1> My First Heading </h1>
<p> My first paragraph. </p>
<br>

HTML elements with no content are called empty elements. Empty elements do not have an end tag, such as the
<br> element (which indicates a line break).

Nested HTML Elements


HTML elements can be nested (elements can contain elements). All HTML documents consist of nested HTML
elements.

This example contains four HTML elements:


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>


<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

Example Explained
The <html> element defines the whole document.
It has a start tag <html> and an end tag </html>.
The element content is another HTML element (the <body> element).
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

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>

Do Not Forget the End Tag


Some HTML elements will display correctly, even if you forget the end tag:

Example
<html>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph
<p>This is a paragraph
</body>
</html>

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 if you need to make
your document readable by XML parsers, you must close all HTML elements properly.

Use Lowercase Tags


HTML tags are not case sensitive: <P> means the same as <p>.
The HTML5 standard does not require lowercase tags, but W3C recommends lowercase in HTML and demands
lowercase for stricter document types like XHTML.
