empty elements
HTML elements with no content are called empty elements.
<br></br> is an empty element without a closing tag (the <br></br> tag defines a line break).
Tip: In XHTML, all elements must be closed. Adding a slash inside the start tag, like <br></br>, is the proper way of closing empty elements in XHTML (and XML).
HTML attributes
-HTML elements can have attributes
-Attributes provide additional information about an element
-Attributes are always specified in the start tag
-Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name=”value”
HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is specified in the href attribute:
<a>This is a link</a></a>
HTML lines
The <hr /> tag creates a horizontal line in an HTML page.
The hr element can be used to separate content: <p>This is a paragraph</p> <hr /> <p>This is a paragraph</p> <hr /> <p>This is a paragraph</p>
HTML Comments
Comments can be inserted into the HTML code to make it more readable and understandable. Comments are ignored by the browser and are not displayed.
Comments are written like this:
