HTML is a language which relies on a series of tags. Tags usually operate in pairs. There is an opening tag such as <body>, <bp> or <p>, and an end tag. End tags are identified by starting with the ‘/’ character. For example: </body> closes the section of program called ‘body’; </bp> closes the bullet point tag and </p> ends the paragraph ‘p’. Tags which don’t operate in pairs include <img> (used to tag an image) and header tags (e.g. <h1>). The content between each pair of tags is called an HTML element. The language is written as a series of elements. Gradually the elements build up to describe a web page.
