How HTML tags work

HTML tags can be single or paired:

  • Single tags use one element (for example, <br>).
  • Paired tags include an opening and a closing tag.

Example:

  • <p> — opens a paragraph.
  • </p> — closes a paragraph.

Tags must be placed inside angle brackets <>.

Some tags include attributes. Attributes define how the tag behaves. They are added inside the opening tag as name/value pairs.

Example:

The tag <img> has an attribute src and alt: <img src="image.jpg" alt="Image description">. An attribute src specifies the path to the file, and alt shows the name of the image if it fails to load.
