  • HTML stands for Hypertext markup language

  • HTML is used for structuring a webpage.

  • An HTML tag is a container that contains certain information about a webpage.

  • <div> divider

  • <p> paragraph

  • <h1> heading

  • <a> reference

  • Semantic HTML defines the meaning of a piece of code.

  • It makes it easier to read the code and provides a consistent structure.

  • The closing tag doesn't have a forward slash.

<h1>Welcome to my website</h1>

  1. Both elements are missing closing tags.
