Kinds of Tags
1. Paired Tags - It consists of a start tag and end tag.
2. Empty Tags - These are tags that do not require an end tag.
Attributes - These are additional information used to modify and enhance an element and are always placed
within the start tag of an element. The structure of the HTML document follow the "first in, last out" rule, which
means that the first tag used in the document should also be the last tag to be closed in the document.
