HTML Elements are the basic components of an HTML document.
Most HTML Elements have three parts:
start tag, content and end tag.
Here are two examples:

<h1>Text</h1> Heading Element The start tag is <h1> and the end tag is </h1>
<p>Text or image</p> Paragraph Element The start tag is <p> and the end tag is </p>

Empty HTML Elements are Elements that do not have an end tag or content.
Here are two examples:

<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Meta Element This element defines the character set
used within the document.
<br /> Forced Line Break This element is used within block level
elements, such as the paragraph.

HTML Attributes may appear within the start tag of an element.
Many attributes have been outdated and are now classified as deprecated and should be avoided.
Here is an example of a valid attribute:

<p class="c">Text or image</p> Class Attribute The class attribute in this example referrs to a
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) rule named "c".
