Type of HTML elements

i) Container elements
ii) Empty elements

Container Elements

This type of HTML elements required pair tags. i.e a starting as well as closing tag.

e.g <title>...</title>, <b>...</b>

The end tag is just like the start tag, except that it has a slash (/) in it.

Empty Elements

This type of HTML elements require just a starting tag and not an ending tag, for example <br>, <hr>

Some elements have only on Starting tag, but they do not have a corresponding end tag. Empty tags are just carried out their specific job and do not act on blocks of text.
