HTML Tags
HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags- HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets like <html>
- HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>
- The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
- The end tag is written like the start tag, with a forward slash before the tag name
- Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags
<tagname>content</tagname>

HTML Element:
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
