Basic HTML Tags

The most important tags in HTML are tags that define headings, paragraphs and line breaks.

HTML Headings

HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6>
<h1> defines the most largest important heading
<h6> defines the least smallest important heading

<h1>This is a heading </h1>

<h2>This is a heading</h2>

<h3>This is a heading </h3>

<h4>This is a heading </h4>

<h5>This is a heading</h5>

<h6>This is a heading </h6>

Paragraphs

Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag. Think of a paragraph as a block of text. You can use the align attribute with a paragraph tag as well. 

Example: 

<p> this is first para </p>

<p> This is second paragraph</p>

Line Breaks

The <br> tag is used when you want to start a new line, but don't want to start a new paragraph.

The <br> tag forces a line break wherever you place it. It is similar to single spacing in a document.

Example: 

<p>Paro <br> Collge of <br> Education

You will get output as 

Paro

College of 

Education

Horizontal Rule 

The element is used for horizontal rules that act as dividers between sections 

The horizontal rule does not have a closing tag. It takes attributes such as align and width. 

Comments in HTML 

The comment tag is used to insert a comment in the HTML source code. A comment can be placed 

anywhere in the document and the browser will ignore everything inside the brackets. You can use 

comments to write notes to yourself, or write a helpful message to someone looking at your source 

code.
