TAGS
HTML works with tags. An HTML tag is a set of instructions enclosed by < >. Web browsers use these tags to interpret what the page should look like.
The < > is considered an Opening or beginning tag, it tells the browser- start doing this.
The / tells browsers this is the stopping point. </ > are called closing tags.
Most tags come in pairs with an opening and a closing tag such as <html> and </html>.
There are however, some instructions which do not have a closing partner. For these, the / at the end will provide the close or end of statement. For example <br />.
