Elements vs Tags
An HTML Element consists of a starting tag, content, and an ending tag:
<p>This is paragraph content.</p>
Void (Self-Closing) Elements
Some elements do not have closing tags or text content because they insert external assets or line breaks directly:
<br>: Inserts a single line break.<hr>: Inserts a thematic horizontal rule divider.<img>: Embeds an image.<input>: Renders an interactive form control.<meta>: Declares document metadata.
