Answer: HTML
markup tags are usually called HTML tags. HTML tags are keywords
surrounded by angle brackets like <html>. Most HTML tags normally
come in pairs like <HTML> and </HTML>. The first tag in a
pair is the start tag; the second tag is the end tag. Start and end tags
are also called opening tags and closing tags. All HTML tags are
enclosed in angle brackets „<‟ and „>‟ i.e. Opening Tag:
<HTML> and closing tag: </HTML>. The closing tag is the same
as the opening tag except a / (slash) mark e.g. </HTML>. Tags are
used to represent various elements of web page like Header, Footer,
Title, Images etc. Tags are of two types
i) Container and
ii) Empty Tags
Container Tags:
Tags which have both the opening and closing i.e.<TAG> and
</TAG> are called container tags. Container tags hold the text and
other HTML tags in between the tags. The <HTML>, <HEAD>,
<TITLE> and <BODY> etc. tags are all container tags.
Example
<BODY> this is a container tag. It holds both the text and HTML tag</BODY>
Empty Tags: Tags, which have only opening tag and no ending tag, are called empty tags. The <HR>, which is used to draw horizontal, rule across the width of the document, line break <BR> tags, etc are empty tags.
Example
<BODY> this is a container tag. It holds both the text and HTML tag</BODY>
Empty Tags: Tags, which have only opening tag and no ending tag, are called empty tags. The <HR>, which is used to draw horizontal, rule across the width of the document, line break <BR> tags, etc are empty tags.
