HTML

Question

What is difference between element and tag?

Answer 1

HTML tag is just opening or closing entity. For example:

<p> and </p> are called HTML tags

HTML element encompasses opening tag, closing tag, content (optional for content-less tags) Eg:

<p>This is the content</p> : This complete thing is called a HTML element

Answer 2

Here’s a simple version of these great replies: if it’s in these: < > then it’s a tag. The whole is an element.
