HTML Elements
HTML documents are defined by HTML elements.An HTML element is everything from the start tag(Opening Tag) to the end tag(Close Tag):
HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements.
The example above contains 3 HTML elements.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paragraph Element
The <p> element defines a paragraph in the HTML document.
The element has a start tag <p> and an end tag </p>.
The element content is: This is my first paragraph.
The body element
The <body> element defines the body of the HTML document.
The element has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>.
The element:
The <html> element defines the whole HTML document.
The element has a start tag <html> and an end tag </html>.
The element content is another HTML element (the body element and paragraph element).
End Tag element
Adding a slash to the start tag, like <br />, is the proper way of closing empty elements, accepted by HTML, XHTML and XML.
Even if <br> works in all browsers, writing <br /> instead is more future proof.

NOTE: HTML tags are not case sensitive: <HTML> means the same as <html>.

<p>This is my first paragraph <p>This is my second paragraph; |
Empty HTML Elements
HTML elements with no content are called empty elements. Empty elements can be closed in the start tag.<br> is an empty element without a closing tag (the <br> tag defines a line break).In XHTML, XML, and future versions of HTML, all elements must be closed.Adding a slash to the start tag, like <br />, is the proper way of closing empty elements, accepted by HTML, XHTML and XML.
Even if <br> works in all browsers, writing <br /> instead is more future proof.
