HTML tags are the hidden web page that define how the browser must format and display the content. Most tags must have two parts, an open and a close part. For example, <html> is the opening tag and </html> is the closing tag. Note that the closing tag has the same text as the opening tag, but has an additional forward-slash ( / ) character.
