control how text is processed and presented. To do this HTML uses

usually enclosed in angle <> brackets. An example of a tag is: <h1>.
• Most tags must be opened <h1> and closed </h1> in order to
function.

be closed manually by its closing tag

separate closing tag as </tag>. Some few self-closing tags are
