HTML documents are defined by HTML elements. An HTML element is everything between the start tag and the end tag. As shown follows in the following image :
Nested Elements
Most HTML elements can be nested (contain or be contained within other HTML elements). HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements. Consider the following example, in this example <html> is the first tag, after that in between closing html tag (</html>) <body> tag isis mentioned and in between that another <p> tag is mentioned. So HTML page is full of nested elements. Example :
<html> <head> <title>HTML Elements Nesting</title> </head> <body> <p> nested paragraph tag</p> </body> </html>
Empty Tags
the html tag which doesn’t contain any attribute are called empty tags. like : <a></a> is an empty anchor (link) tag.
Tags Convention
It’s a general convention to use html tags in lowercase, however tags with uppercase also supported but not a good markup convention
