What's a tag again?

Tags tell the browser what to do with what's inside of them.

This is the basic layout of a tag.

<h1>stuff</h1>

The <h1> is the starting h1 tag, and the </h1> is the ending h1 tag.

Any statring tag is basically the name of the tag within angular brackets. So, a starting b tag would be <b>.

An ending tag is similar, but there is a forward slash before the name. So, an ending b tag would be </b>.

Anything between the starting tag and ending tag is affected by it. In this example, the word 'stuff' would become a big, bold header.

So what tags are there?

Good question! Here are a load of them:

• <p> Makes a paragraph.
• <h1> Makes a header.
• <h6> Makes a very small header.
• <b> Makes text bold.
• <em> Makes text italic.

And throughout this series, you'll learn about a lot more tags!
