About HTML Tags
 Discover the basic structure of HTML tags and container tags.
A tag of the form <tag> is used to mark up a page of HTML text.

Tags are case insensitive; they can be specified in upper or lower-case characters.

Every tag is enclosed in < and > brackets.

Each tag precedes the text it marks up.

Some tags come in pairs that take this form:

<tag>content</tag>

The beginning tag and the ending tag
(which is always preceded by a / slash)
form a container, which encloses the content.
