HTML uses tags to structure web content. These tags define elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, and forms. Understanding essential HTML tags helps create well-structured web pages.

What are HTML Tags?

HTML tags are enclosed in angle brackets (< >) and define elements on a webpage. Most tags have an opening and closing tag, e.g., <p> and </p> for paragraphs. Some tags, like <img>, are self-closing.

Commonly Used HTML Tags

1. Document Structure Tags

  • <html>: Wraps the entire HTML document.
  • <head>: Contains metadata like title, links, and scripts.
  • <title>: Specifies the webpage title displayed in the browser tab.
  • <body>: Encloses all visible page content.

2. Text Formatting Tags

  • <h1> to <h6>: Headings, with <h1> as the highest priority.
  • <p>: Defines paragraphs.
  • <strong>: Makes text bold.
  • <em>: Italicizes text.
  • <br>: Inserts a line break.

3. Hyperlink and Media Tags

  • <a href="URL">: Creates a clickable link.
  • <img src="image.jpg" alt="Image Description">: Embeds an image.
  • <video> and <audio>: Embeds multimedia content.

4. List Tags

  • <ul>: Unordered list.
  • <ol>: Ordered list.
  • <li>: List item.

5. Table Tags

  • <table>: Creates a table.
  • <tr>: Defines a row.
  • <td>: Defines a cell.
  • <th>: Creates a header cell.

6. Form Tags

  • <form>: Wraps a form element.
  • <input>: Accepts user input.
  • <textarea>: Allows multi-line input.
  • <button>: Creates a clickable button.

Semantic HTML Tags

Semantic tags improve readability and SEO by clearly defining content:
