- HTML documents consist of a series of elements, represented by tags (<>)
- Tags usually come in pairs, with the opening tag preceding the content and the closing tag following the content
- The basic structure of an HTML document includes:
-
<!DOCTYPE html>: declaration of document type -
<html>: root element of the document -

-

-
id: assigns a unique identifier to an element -
class: assigns one or more class names to an element -
style: specifies inline styles for an element -
href: specifies the link destination for an anchor element (<a>) -
