What are HTML Elements?

• Elements and tags are not the same.


• Elements are case-insensitive, but it is better to use lower case.


• Most elements contain a start tag, content and an end tag (e.g. <title>) .


• Many elements have no content (e.g. <br>).


• Elements without content can be closed by /> at the end (e.g. <br />) though it is
  not required.
  
• All elements without end tags are closed by the beginning of the next element's
  start tag.


• It is a good coding practice to close all elements with content with an end tag.
  Most browsers are intelligent enough to format the document without proper end tags
  and forgive coder mistakes.
