the end tag:

<p>My first paragraph.</p> Book now
Start tag Element content End tag
<h1> My First Heading </h1>
<p> My first paragraph. </p>

<br> element). These elements are called empty
elements. Empty elements do not have an end tag!

The purpose of a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox,
Safari) is to read HTML documents and display them
correctly.
A browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses them
to determine how to display the document:
