What is an HTML Element?
⚛An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag:
<tagname> Content goes here... </tagname>
⚛The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

Note-⚠️: Some HTML elements have no content (like the <br> element). These elements are called empty elements. Empty elements do not have an end tag!
⚛Web Browsers
The purpose of a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML documents and display them correctly.
A browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses them to determine how to display the document:⬇️
