HTML Tags: A Fundamental Overview

In HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), a tag is a fundamental component used to define and structure
the content of a web page. HTML tags are used to enclose and describe elements or components within the page,
providing instructions to web browsers on how to render and display the content. HTML tags are typically enclosed
within angle brackets (“<>”) and come in pairs: an opening tag and a closing tag.

Opening tag: It begins with the less-than sign (“<”). For example: <tag>.

Closing tag: It is similar to the opening tag but includes a forward slash (“/”) before the tag
name. For example: </tag>.

The content you want to apply the tag to is placed between the opening and closing tags. For example, if you want
to create a paragraph of text, you would use the <p> tag like this:
<p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>.
